I love these. It's a type of verbal blunder that involves switching the initial sounds of a pair of words. The term "Spoonerism" is named for the late Reverend William Archibald Spooner, who had a notorious penchant for this kind of error.

These are all attributed to him. If you have questions about what he probably meant, let me know.

1. "Three cheers for our queer old dean!"
2. "It is kisstomary to cuss the bride"
3. "Those girls are sin twisters"
4. "Is the bean dizzy?"
5. "The Lord is a shoving leopard"
6. "When the boys come back from France, we'll have the hags flung out"
7. "Let me sew you to your sheet"
8. "The enemy fled quickly from the ears and sparrows"
9. "She joins this club over my bed doddy"
10. "The old revival hymn, 'Shall We Rather At the Giver?'"
11. "There is no peace in a home where a dinner swells"
12. "I see before me tons of soil" (a greeting to a group of farmers; he meant to say "sons of toil")
13. "We all know what it is to have a half-warmed fish inside us" (a statement made when he meant to say "half-formed wish")
14. "You have hissed my mystery lectures and were caught fighting a liar in the quad. Having tasted the whole worm, you will leave by the next town drain."

Till next time.
