Temat: Spoonerisms or go help me sod

The spoonerism concept just came up in the Jezyk gietki group and I immediately thought we could share our spoonerisms here: our favorite ones, the tricky expressions we used to be asked to repeat as fast as we can ("The acrobats performed some cunning stunts") and the ones we inadvertently produced.

More about spoonerisms here: http://www.fun-with-words.com/spoon_example.html

I remember we often said "Quing and keen" while studying British history.

If you want more spilarious hoonerisms, go to http://www.spoonerism-fun.com/

Enjoy!

There seems to be a strange bias towards slightly, ahem, rude examples.
Go on then, another...

The obligatory amateur football team / pub quiz team named after some famous lady.... Betty Swallocks.

"Do you know John?"
"Yes, he's a pheasant plucker, isn't he?"

Come on Tatiana, help me along here. Though I'm sure Keith will have something for us on Monday.

Sooner, Steve ;-)

The Lemonheads have a song, called "Big Gay Heart", pleading acceptance from the conservative working classes. There is a line, "I don't need you to suck my dick, or to help me feel good about myself".
They played this live on Top Of The Pops, and I was eager to hear how the BBC would deal with this, when Evan Dando sang as loud as you please: "I don't need you to duck my sick, or to help me feel good about myself"

From my own experience, singing "Let it Snow" at Christmas with some students (one of whom was a nun) "It doesn't show signs of stopping, and I've brought some porn for copping"!

Keith, you made my day with the nun singing "porn for copping".
I remember one of my students asked me once what or who a "Merle" wasas it came up in a conversation with a bunch of native speakers at the college. He insisted that, out of the blue, one of them said in a loud voice "Merle's GAY!") which made the others rotfl. Well, I did inquire and it turned out there were actually talking about men wearing bras (I do realize it's a weird topic but am sure we've covered weirder on GL) and one of them wanted to say "Girls MAY". It doesn't sound or seem funny when written though :(Tatiana S. edytował(a) ten post dnia 18.02.08 o godzinie 07:34

This text is attributed to Ronnie Barker. If you know who he is, you can imagine how much funnier he would have recited it. Though not technically spoonerisms, it made me chucking fortle!

"This is the story of Rindercella and her sugly isters.

Rindercella and her sugly isters lived in a marge lansion. Rindercella worked very hard frubbing sloors, emptying poss pits, and shivelling shot. At the end of the day, she was knucking fackered.

The sugly isters were right bugly uggers. One was called Mary Hinge, and the other was called Betty Swallocks; they were really forrible huckers; they had fetty sweet and fetty swannies. The sugly isters had tickets to go to the ball, but the cotton runts would not let Rindercella go.

Suddenly there was a bucking fang, and her gairy fodmother appeared. Her name was Shairy Hithole and she was a light rucking fesbian. She turned a pumpkin and six mite wice into a hucking cuge farriage with six dandy ronkeys who had buge hollocks and dig bicks

The gairy fodmother told Rindercella to be back by dimnlight otherwise, there would be a cucking falamity.

At the ball, Rindercella was dancing with the prandsome hince when suddenly the clock struck twelve. "Mist all chucking frighty!!!" said Rindercella, and she ran out tripping barse over ollocks, so dropping her slass glipper.

The very next day the prandsome hince knocked on Rindercella's door and the sugly isters let him in. Suddenly, Betty Swallocks lifted her leg and let off a fig bart. "Who's fust jarted??" asked the prandsome hince. "Blame that fugly ucker over there!!" said Mary Hinge. When the stinking brown cloud had lifted, he tried the slass glipper on both the sugly isters without success and their feet stucking funk.

Betty Swallocks was ducking fisgusted and gave the prandsome hince a knack in the kickers. This was not difficult as he had bucking fuge halls and a hig bard on.

He tried the slass glipper on Rindercella and it fitted pucking ferfectly.

Rindercella and the prandsome hince were married. The pransome hince lived his life in lucking fuxury, and Rindercella lived hers with a follen swanny. "

To be honest, I doubt that Bonnie Rarker wrote it.

He was a pit of a brood.

I know, it's hard to imagine the beeb accepting this, too, but have you seen the "news at ton" sketch?
