Reddit has such a tiny, sad little spoonerism community. If we can infect all of Lemmy with it then I’ll be pleased.

I’m not the only one! I drive people crazy in conversations because they’ll be talking to me, and instead of keeping the conversation going I just repeat back what they say as spoonerisms. Also, backwards speak. When my brother and I were little we would be bored lying in bed unable to sleep so we would have conversations saying every word backwards and then try to figure out what the other was saying. We got pretty good at it to the point that my brain processes a lot of what people say backwards and forwards. I’m not as quick about it as I used to be, though.
This is one of my favorites because it grosses my kids out when I say it
Also, if we’re including food ingredients:
Bound greef
Fuck Dat
Alternately Puth Cube
That’s par for the course for me. I’m the type that’ll start a video game on the hardest difficulty for a challenge and then my pride won’t let me lower the difficulty so I just quit under the guise of disliking it.
As someone who has never tried Linux, this meme has done more to make me want to give it a try than anything else Linux users have thrown at me so far. The fox is very convincing. I might step into the back of an unmarked van if it asked me to.
So glad you asked! There are different types with different names, but the traditional spoonerism is where you switch the first consonant sounds of two different words. The example above is baco tell, which is the spoonerism of Taco Bell.
