- Spooner's Spooners
-
Some spoonerisms said to have been uttered by Reverend Spooner himself...
- A half-warmed fish (half-formed wish)
- Our queer old Dean (dear old Queen)
- A well-boiled icicle (well-oiled bicycle)
- The Lord is a shoving leopard. (a loving shepherd)
- Mardon padam, this pie is occupewed. May I sew you to another sheet? (pew is occupied; show you to another seat)
- You have hissed my mystery lectures; you have tasted a whole worm.(missed my history lectures; wasted the whole term)
(With that lot under his belt, it's hardly suprising they were named after him!)
