I don't think either of these would be very fun for the woman they're attached to...

So glad you asked! There are different types with different names, but the traditional spoonerism is where you switch the first consonant sounds of two different words. The example above is baco tell, which is the spoonerism of Taco Bell.

Reddit has such a tiny, sad little spoonerism community. If we can infect all of Lemmy with it then I'll be pleased.

I'm not the only one! I drive people crazy in conversations because they'll be talking to me, and instead of keeping the conversation going I just repeat back what they say as spoonerisms. Also, backwards speak. When my brother and I were little we would be bored lying in bed unable to sleep so we would have conversations saying every word backwards and then try to figure out what the other was saying. We got pretty good at it to the point that my brain processes a lot of what people say backwards and forwards. I'm not as quick about it as I used to be, though.

This is one of my favorites because it grosses my kids out when I say it

Also, if we're including food ingredients:

I am so sorry, I hope you can find a way out.

Guy made it his mission to beat the French using their own language while still refusing to speak it.

If you have kids or pets, or just have a tendency to be a clumsy person yourself, then glossy is much better from a practical standpoint. So much easier to clean with less risk of rubbing the paint off the wall. To be fair, I don't have much of an eye for style so it suits me just fine.

No worries, I was just riffing off of your statement. I meant no offense

I'd sure be bored if I couldn't sing along to songs while alone in a vehicle.
