August 20, 2012Did I tell you guys I made a Spoonerism this year?
A Spoonerism is a phrase where the speaker unintentionally flips the beginning of the word with the beginning from another word from the phrase. This can be one sound, as in ‘go shake a tower’ for ‘go take a shower’ (remembering that sh is actually one phonetic unit, [ʃ] ). The switch can also happen with larger consonant clusters as in “chipping the flannel” (where ch represents the affricate [tʃ] ).
