Spoonerism?

Postby harv » Sun Apr 04, 2010 3:12 pm

Does anyone else feel the need to Spoon'? I wanna know that I'm not alone.

Spoonerism examples below!
Dwagon (dragon)
Wutterfwy (butterfly)
Kandy (candy)
Meh (me)

Spponerism: to replace letters in a word with other letters, often in order to sound cute.

Wall of Spooners!

3. *- Dingo -*
4. The Mad Hatter
5. Beautiful Stardust

I'm glad to know I'm not alone! I tend to do it in real life and whenever I say "dragon".

Um, those aren't spoonerisms.

Spoonerisms are changing the first letters around of words on a phrase.. not making words sound cute. o-O

Like save the whales - wave the sails.

Look it up in a dictionary if you like..

spoonerism |ˈspoōnəˌrizəm|
noun
a verbal error in which a speaker accidentally transposes the initial sounds or letters of two or more words, often to humorous effect, as in the sentence you have hissed the mystery lectures, accidentally spoken instead of the intended sentence you have missed the history lectures.

See? (:

you get excitement in your bones
and everything you do is a game
