Go help me sod, if I can't rid myself of this attack of the spoonerism, I'll simply have stop writing. Have you ever got your words mixed up when chaving a hat with someone? It can be so embarrassing to say the thong ring. Often, you will say things without even noticing dot you have won. It is even more embarrassing when you make a sexual faux pas with a common expression.
Whwn conversing with a buxom girl, you might want to avoid reference to the novel "A Tale of Two Cities", just in case. You might also want to avoid asking to see her "tool kits". Telling the girl's mother that her daughter is "sure pretty" could also leave you feeling a bit embarrassed. It might be fun for those listening, but not the kind of experience you want.
Spoonerisms totally changed the meaning at times and often say the opposite of what you intended to say. To refer to your mentor as a "shining wit" might not go down too well if you just happen to throw in another spoonerism. Think before you speak!
A spoonerism can have you coming out with all kinds of weird expressions that leave your listeners puzzled. Things like "mean as custard", "chewing the doors" and "fighting a liar" are all well worn spoonerisms said without thinking. An attack of the old spoonerisms can be a bit of fun or highly embarrassing depending on the circumstances. Let's hope they don't strike at the wrong time. I would write some more on this topic but for now, !'m off to "shake a tower".
