New -threads today (Games #379) – The answers
The answers to today’s threads, game #379, is …
- CROW
- Chips
- Wells
- BEDDING
- Blushing
- Hit
- Spangram: Spoonerisms
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 3 tips
Spoonerisms are a verbal error in which the speaker mixes the letters from two or more words in a sentence, often with comic results.
They also provide a very difficult threads, and I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who was struggling with the search – not least because if you didn’t have the first one, you would find it difficult to find its couple.
Spoonerisms often occur when someone struggles to find the right words or speak in a hurry and get their words mixed – for example, a priest who talks about bedding wells or someone who delivers a blushing crow.
Back at the end of the 20th century, there was a British comedian called Stanley Unwin, who became famous after turning spoonerisms into an art form and creating his own language (Uwinese) out of it.
He would start by asking the audience, “Is in all Sittty Comftybold two square meters on your Botty?” Before he is launched into his routine with rubbish and wandering stories, ispedd cries about “deep joy”. He was a lovely man.
Either way, I have to go, I’m out of making a cooled hit chips sandwich for lunch.
