A spoonerism is an error in speech or deliberate play on words in which corresponding consonants, vowels, or morphemes are switched between two words in a phrase. While spoonerisms are commonly heard as slips of the tongue resulting from unintentionally getting one's words in a tangle, they can also be used intentionally as a play on words.
Examples:
•"Three cheers for our queer old dean!" (Dear old queen, referring to Queen Victoria)
•"The Lord is a shoving leopard." (A loving shepherd)
•"A well-boiled icicle" (well-oiled bicycle)
•"Is the bean dizzy?" (Dean bus)
