Oderarm deunderant is a good one. Apparently these are considered by some to be the top nine spoonerisms ..

Drain Bamage
Bater Wottle
Right Facism
Sparking Pace
Bass Ackwards
Chilled Greese
Joking Smacket
Teepy Slime
West Bestern

Some of Spooners more famous quotations from the chapel include "The Lord is a shoving leopard," "It is kisstomary to cuss the bride," and "Mardon me padam, this pie is occupewed. Can I sew you to another sheet?." (Pardon me, madam, this pew is occupied. Can I show you to another seat?) The spoonerism is a now legendary 'tip of the slung'.

Other gaffes worth mentioning are his angry speech to a student, "You have hissed all my mystery lectures, and were caught fighting a liar in the quad. Having tasted two worms, you will leave by the next town drain," actually intending to say "missed history", "lighting fire", "wasted terms", and "down train", respectively. During a college reception, he remarked to one lady "You'll soon be had, as a matter of course", when he meant to say "Mad as a Hatter, of course". A few more which you can probably work out for yourself include (making a toast) "Let us raise our glasses to the queer old Dean", "We'll have the hags flung out", "a half-warmed fish" and "Is the bean dizzy?"

They are fun, aren't they? Hmmmm .... best to not use spell check with this answer .....

I'm not sure how well known it is, but I swear "butterfly" should be spoonerized into "flutter by."
