 Thanks, but I meant specifically this (just found it on Wikipedia):
A spoonerism is an error in speech or deliberate play on words 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_play in which corresponding consonants 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consonant, vowels 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vowel, or morphemes 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morphemes are switched (see metathesis 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metathesis_%28linguistics%29) between two words in 
a phrase,[1]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoonerism#cite_note-2 for example saying "The 
Lord is a shoving leopard." instead of "The Lord is a loving shepherd."
