This Spoonerism actually took quite a while to hit me, but I guess being put on probation could equate to being 'meat-flagged'.
SO, am I going to get meat-flagged for this thread, or is it significant enough to merit moderator lenience?
Just to keep it relevant, what's YOUR favourite Spoonerism?

EDIT: A spoonerism is the transposition of initial consonants in a pair of words. Should have clarified. My apologies.

'Tisn't a Spoonerism- you've also changed the Ns and Ms around. A true Spoonerism is only the first sound.

I described it. Anyway, it's swapping the first sounds of two words to make new words, I.E 'james dean' becomes 'dames jean'.

Crap. You're right. You've just made my thread collapse in on itself. And it's only my second.

Funny this used to be called dyslexia when i was growing up, i cant keep up with the times.
Spoonerisms are ages old. It's really not a new thing.

Riper Snifle.

Something one of my friends accidentally said, then promptly got killed by a rocket because he was trying to figure out what was so funny.

This is the reason why we pity poor old Betty Swalls, who is reported to have lived in the 19th century.
