I have so much fun with spoonerisms that I thought I would share some more of my creations with you. But unlike movies, I think the sequel is even better! In case, you don’t know what a spoonerism is, a spoonerism is an accidental or intentional play on words. It occurs when the beginning sounds of words are switched with each other to create new words with a humorous effect.
a. Stan declines clandestines.
b. Lame Duck, Dame Luck
c. Boxing Day, docks in bay
d. Lies spike spies like us!
e. Bare feet stepping to a fair beat
f. Wave the sails, save the whales!
g. A loon might, in the moonlight!
h. Why hire high-wire act? asked the circus manager.
Now see if you can find the spoonerisms in these sentences.
1. The anti-social chef disliked the light knife.
2. There's nothing a little sore fight can't avoid, is there?
3. At the playground, the girl stuck her bare feet into the banned socks.
4. Human relations: Vex & Silence
5. Where there's folk, there's mire.
The answers are in the comments:
