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
  1. the transposition of initial or other sounds of words, usually by  accident, as in a blushing crow for a crushing blow.
