Spoonerisms

[Blackandblue]

My wife can't help referring to that mad chef as Blumen Hestonthal.

I friend at University always referred to Gatport Airwick. Deliberately. Drove me nuts.

O/T but I can't help myself tell the story of one of my aunts (a proper Mrs Malaprop) who once described her husband's haphazard driving as very erotic.

In my student days our lecturer for organic chemistry was called Michael Hunt .

On a news item a good few years back...."hypodeemic nurdle".

I just saw this thread and thought we had one like it about eight months ago- then noticed it IS the same theread from eight months ago.

So after eight months of thought on the subject-

Dickie Davis on world of sport one said "Lets go over to the cock sucker" instead of cup soccer" Not really a spoonerism but funny.

Well I have been in the bakers and asked for a sloaced life.

I have asked if my mair is a hess

One person said to my husband, it has been a business doing pleasure with you, not quite a spoonisrm but funny all the same

Everyone know the Yogi Bear song. Theres a line in that says
" Yogi he likes whips and chains"

My other half was reciting this in the car one night ( i have no idea why?) when she said
" Yogi he likes chips and weans"

Man i laughed for weeks



P.s for the non scottis a "wean" is a child

I hate it when people get their mucking words fuddled up

 

[Greedo]

On one of our first dates I said to Mrs Greedo that I found something totally bizeird. Was trying to say either weird or bizarre. It is now between us an actual word to describe something either of us finds mental.

Hate couply things like that as well but hey ho!

John Walters (John Peel's ex producer) one did a long iterview with a Girl Group called the Cunning Stunts and made a point of using the name as oten as possible and got it right every time (at least in the broadcast version,,,,)

..bizeird..

That, strictly speaking, is not a spoonerism but a portmanteau word, a blend of two words where the syllables actually get mixed up. Examples are 'smog', 'brunch', 'telethon' etc.

In my student days our lecturer for organic chemistry was called Michael Hunt .

My nickname at school was Mike which is strange as I'm a Chris. Unlike Colin who isn't.
