Which do you most frequently make?

  My most usual is cone fall instead of phone call.

Oh dear.....Gophie.....I removed the duplication as requested.  But apparently before I got it right, I wiped out your post about the turd cart.....errm....the curd tart.  My apologies.

Er... what's that mean? Sound porno-ish.
Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will carry.

Gophie actually had a decent explanation for spoonerisms, but I accidently...umm...gulp.....removed it.  

  Spoonersims are commonly heard as slips of the tongue....spoonerised would be 'tips of the slung'.  They are considered a form of pun when used purposely as a play on words.

  Gophies example was something known as a 'curd tart'....and he graciously left the spoonerised version left unsaid.

   Here's another.....

"I'd rather have a bottle in front o' me than  a frontal lobotomy.

Peach Arse ? [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c032.gif" border=0]  A fine spoonerism if I ever heard one.

That Sportsdude is a pretty fart smeller.

All of the following are attributable to  Rev. William Archibald Spooner (1844-1930), in whose honour the word 'spoonerism' was coined:

  The cat popped on its drawers (dropped on its paws)

We'll have the hags flung out (flags hung out)

Yes, indeed, the Lord is a shoving leopard (loving shepherd)

A blushing crow (crushing blow)

A well-boiled icicle (well-oiled bicycle)

Nosey little cook (cosy little nook)

Tons of soil (sons of toil)

Let us drink to the queer old Dean (dear old Queen)

It is kisstomary to cuss the bride (customary to kiss)

Please sew me to another sheet (show me to another seat)

Sir, you have tasted two whole worms (Iwasted two whole terms)

you have hissed all my mystery lectures (missed all my hisory lectures)

and have been caught fighting a liar (lighting a fire)

you will leave Oxford by the town drain (down train)
