A Spoonerism is a play on words in which corresponding consonants or
vowels are switched (see metathesis), named after the Reverend William
Archibald Spooner (1844–1930), Warden of New College, Oxford, who was
notoriously prone to this tendency.
Here is a limerick (composed c. 1930) concerning lack of confidence in someone
who fails to keep his hat clean:
"This person hates sadly-boiled rats
In the drain as quite messy, so that's
A sign that I am
Not to dust him a tram;
Besides, he has spurious cats."
