Spoonerisms

[661-Pete]

In view of this morning's unfortunate mishaps on the Today programme etc., I wonder if CCers have any special spoonerisms they'd like to air?

For some reason, those we use regularly at home often pertain to meals, veggie ones especially. The other night we had mushed stuffrooms for dinner - a 'regular'. Luckily we never use duck fat.....

I have heard someone referred to as a 'shining wit', which made me giggle.

Then there's the classic Kenny Everett character of Cupid Stunt.

I once completely messed up telling my inlaws that I had bought a three kite stunt train. And they still let me marry their daughter.

I often use "a right cucking falamity."

In the Middle East, there are always problems with the West Bank!

I knew someone who called their new kitten "Lard" after that.
Same chap had twin cats called "Foxtrot" and "Oscar".

What's the difference between a cart horse and a cavalry horse?

Titbred Wankard, surely.

It's a shame that the options for 'rude' spoonerisms are a bit - limited. I'm waiting for someone to stumble with "Nat West Bank" but I'm afraid it may be me...... (it's probably been done already).

Actually, the Rev W A Spooner 'original'* "Let us drink a toast to the Queer old Dean" would be most un-PC nowadays....

*apocryphal.

I once criticised someone for the poor quality of their "gramming and spellar". The irony wasn't lost on either of us.

What's the difference between. . .

The Seagull flits across the shore. . .






Or between a goldfish and a mountain goat?





One mucks about in fountains. . .

I like the rudest of Robin Hood's gang: "Friar Tuck".

I found it funny when Viz once campaigned for a national "Wig bank".
