Named after William Spooner, who was an Oxford Don methinks, this is the swapping of the beginnings of two words in a sentence with comic result.
For example, instead of “My Lord is a loving shepherd” we can have “My Lord is a shoving leopard”
And “He struck a crushing blow” becomes “He struck a blushing crow”
