Favourite Spoonerisms

Post by perrins57 »

The two I've done which caused me to laugh the most (I'm easily amused) are Cemix menter and Hyperdemic Nerdle.
Any good Spoonerisms you've created?

One of my aunts would visit the "mish farket" every Friday. (fish market)

She was also known to remark about the "roaring pain" during a thunderstorm. (pouring rain)

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

My favorite is quite crude, so I won't print it here.

But, I love when the <a href="http://www.capsteps.com/">Capital Steps</a> do a routine they call "Lirty Dies" where they tell a current events story using only spoonerisms. Here's an <a href="http://www.capsteps.com/lirty/maddam2.html">example</a>.
One they use occasionally is "Scrotally Tewed", which is probably my second favorite Spoonerism (though, strictly speaking, not really a Spoonerism, since "Tewed" isn't a word).

When I was a reckless young man there was nothing I liked better than to go to t'pub and enjoy a pint of Titbread Wankard.
