[Dixielandjazz] Spoonerisms

[John Farrell]

Henry Stinson said :

" If you read the article carefully at

 http://www.xrefer.com/entry/443971

It does not say that Spoonerisms include transpositions of other parts of
words other than the first parts."

Then clearly you missed this part Henry :

"They (i.e. spoonerisms) can also affect larger items, such as syllables and
words: mouth in her food (food in her mouth), to gap the bridge (to bridge
the gap).)"

The article comes from a highly regarded linguistic source - The Oxford
Companion to the English Language.
