You bucking fastards- spoonerisms

This is gonna get floundered quicker than it takes to fish my tea bag out of my cup with a bic biro.

Favourite Spoonerisms please. Need some for a class I ‘may’ teach.

Not exact quotes as they are from memory.

(Spooner is a minister and somebody is in his seat.)

  1. You are occupewing my pie. Please let me sew you to another sheet.

(For students lighting fires.

  1. Fighting liars in the square

I don’t get it…this is nuckin futs

  1. No wucken forries.

This is not a flounder, although Tom Hill is. This is a ‘Teaching English’ thread. Come one boy, get your act together.

Yes, I am a bit of a thread snob. One of mine has been put into Sports/Fun/Games which is WORSE than a floundering. That forum has less traffic than a south african highway.

And as to your spelling mistake: You know where my desk is, come by, I’ll give you some help.

Not quite a spoonerism…

yes indeed it is. Cunned Stunt makes more sense, so I gave 2 variations…er…and without using the ‘c’ word.

As for the dyslexicporn problem, perhaps she should contact D.A.N. - the National Dyslexic Association

This whole thing is just a cupid stunt.

The one-hit-wonder-band Wheatus has an album out called “Suck Fony”, celebrating their release from Sony.

You dodgamn futher mucking bunofasitch!

I obtained the following useless trivial info from a comprehension exercise done in grade 10 at school. The topic was obviously appealing enough for it to have stuck this long … don’t ask me why

The spoonerism was named after the Reverend William Archibald Spooner who lectured at Oxford at the end of the 19th century. He was well-known at the university as a jovial & funny guy who had the habit of swopping the first letter of words … thus the spoonerism.

Some of his best were:

(at a wedding ceremony)
“It is now kisstomary to cuss the bride”

(giving a sermon)
“The Lord is a shoving leopard”

(to a student who had lit a fire in a quadrangle one night)
“Have you been fighting a lira in the quadrangle?”

I guess the most memorable Spoonerismer :help: for me is Zummi from the Gummi Bears.

For some PG Spoonerisms:

Go bite on the wrackboard.
Take this letter home to your Dom and Mad.

Alright… here is a collection of spoonerisms from the private stock, many are originals (from me or my mates - who got totally into making up spoonerisms in the Early 90’s at the Formosa Hostel and ELSI School #5)

Old standards:

Q: What’s the difference between a billy goat and a gold fish?
A: One mucks around the fountain, and the other…

Q: What’s the difference between a Nun and a girl in a bathtub?
A: One has a soul full of hope…

Q: What’s the difference between a married woman and a virgin?
A: One’s trying to diet…

Originals:

Q: What’s the difference between a British brekkie and a masochist?
A: One’s bacon and eggs…

Q: What’s the difference between a guy practicing golf on the QE2 and a guy with a colostomy?
A: One hits from the ship…

Q: What’s the difference between a tennant’s rights advocate and Michael Jackson camping with the Cub Scouts?
A: One teaches about the rent…

Q: What’s the difference between a Chinese chef and a porn star?
A: One has a copper wok…

Q: What’s the difference between a lazy doctor and a flexible lad?
A: One ducks his own sick…

Q: What’s the difference between some Japanese salary men eating at the Hyatt and the forumosa community?

I guess it would be more of a dyslexic thing, though…
