A Spoonerism is swapping letters between words which often results in an amusing turn of phrase: o A lack of pies (A pack of lies) o It's roaring pain (It's pouring rain) o Wave the sails (Save the whales) Spoonerisms are named after the late Reverend W. A. Spooner (1844‐1930) who was the Dean of New College in Oxford, England.
