Spoonerism: Part 1
Have you ever heard of "spoonerism?"
Spoonerism is a type of wordplay or misspoken word in which several sounds are switched between two words in a sentence. This term is named after the Reverend William Archibald Spooner of England, famous for his frequent slips of the tongue.
For example, "A lack of pies" instead of "A pack of lies" or "bunny phone" instead of "funny bone."
There are various spoonerisms in Japanese as well, such as atu wa natsui (あつはなつい - meaning something like "hot is summer") instead of natsu wa atsui (夏は暑い - meaning "Summer is hot").

Great entry! それは、よくあることですね！

Thank you for reading my entry!
In Japanese, "Jaikel Maxon" instead of "Michael Jackson" and 'gorilla gei u' (ゴリラゲイ雨 - meaning "gorilla gay rain") instead of 'guerrilla gou u' (ゲリラ豪雨 - meaning "guerrilla downpour") are well-known examples. In today's post, I will introduce one of my favorite spoonerisms!
