    Fuck me, that spoonerism meme I posted a while back fucked up more than just me, it seems.

    I normally suffer from translocating things, a la Sheriff of Rottingham, or like the meme itself. Weef Bellington isn’t real. He can’t hurt me runs out of room screaming

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

        TIL there’s a name for this. This has been one of my bits for years

          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.
