spoonerism
noun
spoo·ner·ism ˈspü-nə-ˌri-zəm 
: a transposition of usually initial sounds of two or more words (as in tons of soil for sons of toil)
Did you know?
What is the origin of spoonerism?
Poor William Archibald Spooner! That British clergyman and educator, who lived from 1844 to 1930, often had to speak in public, but he was a nervous man and his tongue frequently got tangled up. He would say things like "a blushing crow" when he meant "a crushing blow." Spooner's sound reversals became the stuff of legend—and undoubtedly gave his listeners many a laugh. By the end of the 19th century, his name had inspired the term spoonerism, which lives on to this day.
