I've been recently hooked onto dictionary.com.

(Yes because I read the dictionary everyday.)

(OH PLEASE!!!)



So here's a little fun-loving trivia for today:



Word of the day



spoonerism \SPOO-nuh-riz-uhm\, noun:

The transposition of usually initial sounds in a pair of words.



Examples:

- We all know what it is to have a half-warmed fish ["half-formed wish"] inside us.

- The Lord is a shoving leopard ["loving shepherd"].

- It is kisstomary to cuss ["customary to kiss"] the bride.

- Is the bean dizzy ["dean busy"]?

- When the boys come back from France, we'll have the hags flung out ["flags hung out"]!

- Let me sew you to your sheet ["show you to your seat"].



Spoonerism comes from the name of the Rev. William Archibald Spooner (1844-1930), a kindly but nervous Anglican clergyman and educationalist. All the above examples were committed by (or attributed to) him.



Have a wreat geekend ["great weekend"]!
