What is spoonerism?

Blue Jay · Answer

A spoonerism is when you switch the first letter(s) of two words in a sentence, either accidentally or for humorous effect.
A well boiled icicle (A well oiled bicycle).
Search every crook and nanny (Search every nook and cranny).
Hung from a flight, the cat popped on her drawers and was unhurt. (Flung from a height, the cat dropped on her paws and was unhurt).
You have hissed all my mystery lectures (You have missed all my history lectures).
You have tasted a whole worm (You have wasted a whole term).
She's a rental deceptionist (Dental receptionist).
He's chewing his doors (Doing his chores).
She's shaking a tower (taking a shower).

Monox D. I-Fly · Answer

Ah, I quite see it now. Duh, why did I assume "naughty jokes" mean "sexual jokes"? <img class='emoticon' style='Width:19px;Height:19px;' data-delaysrc='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/37.gif' src='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/37.gif' alt='Emotion: thinking'/>
