SPOONERISMS are a verbal error the place the speaker mixes up the letters of two or extra phrases in a phrase, usually with comedic outcomes.
Additionally they make for a really difficult Strands and I’m certain I wasn’t the one one who struggled with the search – not least as a result of if you did not have the primary one you’d discover it robust to find its pair.
Spoonerisms usually happen when somebody is struggling to seek out the correct phrases or talking in a rush and getting their phrases muddled – as an example a priest speaking about BEDDING WELLS or somebody delivering a BLUSHING CROW.
Again within the late twentieth century there was a British comic referred to as Stanley Unwin who grew to become well-known after turning Spoonerisms into an artform and creating his personal language (Unwinese) out of it.
He’d start by asking the viewers: “Are you all sitty comftybold two-square in your botty?” earlier than launching into his routine of nonsense verse and rambling tales, interspersed with cries of “deep pleasure”. He was a stunning man.
Anyway, bought to go, I’m off to make a calming STRICKEN CHIPS sandwich for lunch.
