I never knew this was a real thing! I do it all the time, because I’m a silly guy, but apparently it’s something definable. It showed up on my “word of the day” list, and I thought it was really cool!
Spoonerism: the transposition of usually initial sounds in a pair of words.
For example:
“I tooked the curkey” (I cooked the turkey)
“A sacon bandwich” (A bacon sandwich)
I do this a lot, much to the annoyance of my family. I must warn you, however, if you start to automatically speak in spoonerisms, you can get into trouble. When you’re discussing Robin Hood with your 8 year old, be careful with Friar Tuck. You’ve been warned.
Very funny! That is a very interesting tid-bit of information. Talk about useless trivia 🙂 Josh should really get a kick out of this post! I’ll bet this isn’t something you would find on a trivial pursuit card 🙂
Your post really made me smile because you do that ALL THE TIME and that isn’t even the frustrating part. The frustrating part is when I do it unintentionally from being around you so much!!! (But I wouldn’t change it for the world 🙂 Love ya!
And Freud would say it was because of some repressed sexual feelings about our parents!
Enjoy your sense of humor. Your mind is always at work. God bless you.
