Thread: Are you up to the challenge of Spoonerisms?

. . . like when this guy said to an habitual drunk, “You could do with a frontal lobotomy,” and the drunk replied, “I’ll settle for a bottle in front of me.”

Your turn.

The movie was so intense that it made the hair stand up on the edge of my seat.

After puzzling over this for twelve hours give or take I asked my resident expert on such matters who informed me this is not a Spoonerism.

It was actually uttered by the Rev, at least that's what it said in a book I read...may sod rest his goal. Apparently you hissed my mystery lecture on the subject.

Your original "Spoonerism" has been variously attributed to Dorothy Parker, W.C. Fields, and Tom Waits.

And not forgetting Dean Martin.

Has anyone heard "Rindercella"? It was done by the late Archie Campbell (of Hee-Haw fame) and is very funny. He tells the whole story of Cinderella using spoonerisms all the way through. I loved the Prandsome Hince.

Ass-Jack - crank yourself up- so you're eyes are no longer level with the edge of the dinner table.

I don't know if this counts, but there are some things that always make me laugh.

When someone says, "I can't see jackshit!" I imagine : "I can't see Jack shit!"

or

The phrase "badass", like "These are some badass cookies!" I imagine "These are some bad, Ass Cookies!"

lol, not really spoonerisms but we should definitely expand. My first two weren't neither.

I think the sentence is still supposed to make sense when you witch the swords?

The 'bicked' in Lin's 'The Bicked old Witch' is a spell-known woonerism.
