A spoonerism is a play on words in which corresponding consonants, vowels, or morphemes are switched, named after the Reverend William Archibald Spooner (1844–1930), Warden of New College, Oxford, who was notoriously prone to this tendency. While spoonerisms are commonly heard as slips of the tongue, they are considered a form of pun when used purposely as a play on words.
When I read this, I thought of making some on my own. Also I blog it to get collective minds working on it!!!
Please try not to Google and put them over here. Crush your bray cells (you know what I mean now) and come up with your own!!
Just to kick yourself off, I write a few I could think of which would give you a “said heart”.
What I sought of thawing----------&---------What I thought of Saying
Let’s set it great----------------------------- Let’s get it straight
Wake a talk----------------------------------Take a walk
Deck the chore-------------------------------Check the Door
Heeding rabbit-------------------------------Reading Habit
Peck the Cheek------------------------------ Check the Peak
Jerk the bra----------------------------------Break the jaw
Ok, my thoughts are “wetting a little gild” here. Anyway, you would have “Caught the Glue” and so I leave this to you now!!!
Let’s make it “run to feed”!

Spooner's last words were a Spoonerism too. Apparently Spooner's housekeeper had a crush on him. Spooner returned home exhausted one day and sank into a chair and said "take me".
The housekeeper was overjoyed but she realized what he meant and went to the kitchen. Spooner was no more when she was back with the tea.
Hi MSP,
That's quite interesting to know... Now, if i tell some one to take me and they get angry, I could use this story ;)
MSP, Love to see some of your creations too!!!
Buddha, Rev. Spooner once scolded a student who miseed his class--" You Have Tasted Two Worms"( you have wasted two terms). Rebuked another for "fighting a liar " in the chapel( lighting a fire).
He was an eccentric soul- once he gave a long sermon in church and concluded by saying " Friends, in my sermon today, whenever I mentioned St Peter , I actually meant King david"!! And once he invited all his colleagues for a dinner at his place in honor of a new faculty.He goes to one of tjhem and invites him for dinner to "welcome our new geography faculty". The person replies "I am the new Geography faculty" Spooner's retort" Oh, Come along any way"
Sid, I was told that the original name for Butterfly was 'Flutterby'
