Today is "Spoonerism Day!" That of course leads to the question, "What's a Spoonerism?"

Spoonerisms are phrases, sentences, or words in that have swapped sounds. Basically, it's getting your "Mords Wixed". It usually this happens by accident, particularly if you're speaking fast. Come and wook out of the lindow is another example.

Of course, there are many millions of possible Spoonerisms, but the real fun ones are the ones where it makes sense in both the original phrase and in the Spoonerism like, Go and shake a tower instead of Go and take a shower.

Here's a great list of others that I found at funwithwords.com

Have some fun with your words today!

know your blows - blow your nose

go and shake a tower - go and take a shower

tease my ears
- ease my tears

nicking your pose
  - picking your nose

you have very mad banners  - you have very bad manners

lack of pies
  - pack of lies

it's roaring with pain
  - it's pouring with rain

sealing the hick
  - healing the sick

go help me sod
  - so help me God


bowel feast  - foul beast

I'm a damp stealer
  - I'm a stamp dealer

wave the sails  - save the whales

mad bunny
  - bad money

I'm shout of the hour
  - I'm out of the shower

this is the pun fart - 
this is the fun part

I hit my bunny phone
- I hit my funny bone

it crawls through the fax
- it falls through the cracks

soul of ballad  - bowl of salad

Here are a few:

1) The Lord is a shoving leopard - The Lord is a loving shepard.

2) You have hissed all my mystery lectures - You have missed all my history lectures.

3) Let us pray for our queer old dean - Let us pray for our dear old queen.

4) Is the bean dizzy? - Is the dean busy?

5) Right fascism - Fight rascism

6) Chilled Grease - Grilled chease

7) Those hawks have souls - Those socks have holes.

Archie Campbell was the master of this during the barbershop segments of Hee Haw.

I'll never forget the story of the 'Pee Little Thrigs' tormented by the 'Wig Wad Bolf" who threatened to "Puff and huff and hoe your blouse down".

Say hi to your co-worker for me: Had Bricks...

My brother and I used to do this all the time when we were growing up :-)

This reminds me vaguely of the basis for Cockney, slang that's spoken in eastern London.

E.g. if you want to say "House," you would say "mouse" because it rhymes with it. Then you might say "mickey mouse," and abbreviate it to just say "mickey." Kind of interesting . . .

FOX 6 Meteorologist =========================
Rob is an AMS Certified Broadcast Meteorologist and also holds the National Weather Association Seal of Approval as well as the Endorsement of the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society. =========================
A long, long, time ago in a farmers field far, far away, Rob noticed a change in the wind and became fascinated with the weather. Why you ask? (Pause for you to say "why?") Well, it was at that moment he realized he was downwind of the manure pile on the turkey farm where he grew up! After that he watched the weather very carefully in an effort to save his sense of smell! Okay, that's not entirely true but I did grow up on a turkey farm and I have been fascinated with weather and broadcasting for quite some time. I began my career in radio before making the jump to TV. I worked on Good Morning Toronto. After that, I decided to pursue my dream of living and working in the U.S. and joined Wake Up Rochester in Rochester NY. I spent three years in "Bills Country" before coming to my senses and moving to "Packer-Town!" (GO PACK!) I also spent some time trying to make it big as a comic actor and studied the art of improvisation at Toronto's Second City Theatre with teachers like SCTV's Joe Flaherty! I moved here with my beautiful wife, Tanya, who's the real comedian in the family, my son Noah, who's giving my wife a run for the title of funniest Haswell and my daughter Nyla who is the cutest 2 feet of human being you could ever meet! We're very excited to be living in the great city of Milwaukee and we're looking forward to learning all there is to know about Wisconsin! By the way, where do you buy those cheesehead hats anyway?
