How many times have you used phrases that, although does not sound grammatically correct, makes sense in your head and sounds completely ridiculous in the process?
Your mouth moves faster than your brain when you reprimand your children which sometimes lead you to fumble on certain words.
If you are guilty of this then you may have committed spoonerism.
Spoonerism is a deliberate or accidental play on words.
So instead of saying, “you have very bad manners” you might accidentally say ‘you have very mad banners.”
How many spoonerisms can you think of?
Celebrate National Spoonerism Day by challenging yourself to think of many spoonerisms you may have heard or said in the past and share them with us.
You might laugh and how ridiculous it could sound.
