[Dixielandjazz] Misplaced words

[John Farrell]

Propping up his argument that "anastrophe" is more appropriate than
"spoonerism"  Bill Gunter said :

"since "A Hard Man is Good To Find" is a deliberate
construction for comedic effect and hardly a 'slip of the tongue' I would
argue this rules out the spoonerism (inadvertant slip) and endorses the
anastrophe (a deliberate utterance)!"

Until Anton reveals the circumstances - i.e. were the words said jokingly or
was it a slip? (either case is quite feasible) - it will be impossible to
determine which of us is right.
