From time to time I, totally involuntarily, come forth with Soppnerisms.
Oops, I really meant to type Spoonerisms.
Years ago I was at a reception for newly-arrived grad students and professional students and when asked what my undergraduate major had been, I started by saying that I entered Brown as a French Literature major, and then humblebragged "and to this day, I can remember Frenches of Snatch poetry."
In the stunned silence that followed, I blushingly assured one and all that I could never come up with something like that, even if I tried.
I also introduced a girlfriend to the parents of a friend of mine, calling her "Dana, the bed breaker" instead of "Dana, the bread baker."
There have been others.
