Spoonerism
"WAVE THE SAILS!" Jimmy yelled. "Have it your
way" the captain replied. Jimmy started crying. It was an
unfortunate spoonerism. He really wanted to say, "Save the Whales.” We saw
him screaming from the boat that was drifting farther and farther out to sea,
the sails waving in the wind.
Spoonerism
- the transposition of initial or other sounds of words, usually by accident, as in a blushing crow for a crushing blow.
