[Lexicog] Spoonerism

[Fritz Goerling]

Kim, I agree about the accidental ones. I once heard a nationally known
German preacher "do" an accidental tip of the slung one which was obviously
a Sleudian frip. It was very embarrassing but everyone was polite enough not
to laugh.

Accidental metatheses can be even funnier than intentional ones!
