| A spoonerism is a pair of words that can have the
initial sounds switched to form new words. For example,
"churning bear" is a spoonerism for "burning
chair" (note that the pairs do not have to be
spelled the same - only sound the same). From the
definitions below, can you figure out the spoonerism
pairs?
1. Thumper's cellphone...mis-named nerve.
2. Where to buy a mallard...jammed portal.
3. Grizzly relative...two pin-lovers.
4. Sad iguana...Merlin slam-dunking.
5. Wasp accelerates...Half a six-pack.
