Spooner's Spoonerisms
fighting a liar | lighting a fire |
you hissed my mystery lecture | you missed my history lecture |
cattle ships and bruisers | battle ships and cruisers |
nosey little cook | cosy little nook |
a blushing crow | a crushing blow |
tons of soil | sons of toil |
our queer old Dean | our dear old Queen |
we'll have the hags flung out | we'll have the flags hung out |
you've tasted two worms | you've wasted two terms |
our shoving leopard | our loving shepherd |
a half-warmed fish | a half-formed wish |
is the bean dizzy? | is the Dean busy? |
