Spoonerisms, for those of you who don't know were named after named after the Reverend William Archibald Spooner (1844–1930), who often spoke these aloud. Some of his famous quotes from the chapel include "The lord is a shoving leopard," "It is kisstomary to cuss the bride," and "Mardon me padam, this pie is occupewed. Can I sew you to another sheet?." The spoonerism is a now legendary 'slip of the tongue.'

Here's a few my wife and I came up with.
