I knew a preacher many years ago who consistently referred to the whale of the belly. Didn't have a clue he was doing it, and I never had guts to tell him.

Waaay back when, when we used to get the gigglies and the munchies, someone came out with a spoonerism. Then someone else said, "hey you did a snooperism!" To this day I have to think twice to remember which term is the correct one.

Archie Campbell? from Hee-Haw would retell classics like:

"The Pee Little Thrigs" or "Rindercella."

The best line from Rindercella is, "She slopped her dripper."

The Capitol Steps usually do satirical songs on politics and current events, but they also do some hilarious spooneristic commentary. Some are available on line in a section of their website called “Lirty Dies”

In a speech science class, we were talking about jitter and shimmer…at least once a day, our professor would slip and switch the j/sh.
