Entertainment / Literature / Spoonerism: The comic (and usually unintentional) transposition of two initial consonants or other sounds. For example, saying 'the queer old dean' when one means to say, 'the dear old queen,' or speaking of 'beery wenches' when one means 'weary benches' would be spoonerisms. The word comes from the flustered English clergyman and Oxford don, Reverend W. A. Spooner (1844-1930), who was famous for such slips of the tongue. Spooner, in an apocryphal account, once supposedly told a negligent student, 'You have tasted two worms, hissed my mystery lectures, and you must leave Oxford by the first town drain.' He of course meant to say, 'You have wasted two terms, missed my history lectures, and you must leave Oxford by the first down-train.'
