I do love me a good spoonerism. The best of course is "keys and parrots".
But I just came up with a good one: "batch my scrawls".
And of course who can forget the timeless "hoot to the bed".
I have of course always wondered if there should be separate words for spoonerisms that do and do not maintain spelling. For example "shot in the dark" maintains its spelling when becoming "dot in the shark" but "peas and carrots" does not...
And now for something completely different:
last night I had a dream that Okamura (the smaller half of the comedy duo 99) was teaching me how to break dance.
Which actually isn't so strange, because he is in fact quite good.

It is soooo good to see that your child remembers worthless stuff his father taught him!
I like "batch my scrawls"!
