WOTD - What the cutlery gets up to when you're not looking..

Word o' the day is,

spoonerism : The transposition of usually initial sounds in a pair of words.
A true gem, I don't know if I like the word or the definition better, some examples..

We all know what it is to have a half-warmed fish ["half-formed wish"] inside us.

A well-boiled icicle ["well-oiled bicycle"].

It is kisstomary to cuss ["customary to kiss"] the bride.

Is the bean dizzy ["dean busy"]?

*groans* you get the drift.. I suppose it's too much to ask for witty "spoonerisms" when the word itself is so amusing..

oh and if you're disappointed that it's not actually anything to do with cutlery (technically flatwear, cutlery refers to things that cut, eg knives /dorkout) well, I've got that too.
