Im a fan and after a comment on another thread thought lets see if the wordsmiths are up for a game...
When someone makes a statement in their response try and turn one of their sentences spoonerism.
It shouldn't be hard to get one in from what others type.
just use your head and come up with
something small to start with that can grow bigger in time.... pause for breath though! It can be addictive. |

A transposition of sounds (often the initial consonants) in two or more words, such as "shoving leopard" in place of "loving shepherd").
A spoonerism is usually accidental and may have a comic effect.

Yes that! It can be a play on words by muddling up the words and start letters in a sentence so it reads something entirely different or as simple as saying a Tup of Kee for a cup of tea. |

Soapy done one on Saturday to the Milky Way (red car/blue car) advert. He was singing along and...
"he eats everything he sees,
from pricks to truckly trees
but good old blue he took the Milky Way"

"im confused lol - doesnt take much though
me too! whats spoonerism lol x"
Confused me too, so see below
Spoonerisms are words or phrases in which letters or syllables get swapped. This often happens accidentally in slips of the tongue (or tips of the slung as Spoonerisms are often affectionately called!):
Tease my ears (Ease my tears)
A lack of pies (A pack of lies)
It's roaring with pain (It's pouring with rain)
Wave the sails (Save the whales
Hope this helps
