  At first glance the thumbnail looked like a pepperoni jalapeno pizza.

  The reality is much worse. :(

  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.

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

  I’m not the only one! I drive people crazy in conversations because they’ll be talking to me, and instead of keeping the conversation going I just repeat back what they say as spoonerisms. Also, backwards speak. When my brother and I were little we would be bored lying in bed unable to sleep so we would have conversations saying every word backwards and then try to figure out what the other was saying. We got pretty good at it to the point that my brain processes a lot of what people say backwards and forwards. I’m not as quick about it as I used to be, though.

  This is one of my favorites because it grosses my kids out when I say it

  Also, if we’re including food ingredients:

  That’s grammatically correct in the neck of the woods I grew up.

  Tetsuo, is that you?

  I prefer peanut butter and banana, personally.

  Reminds me of when my build in Minecraft doesn’t quite line up as I had imagined and I’m too lazy to fix it. Guess that happens in real life, too.
