A spoonerism is a special type of rhyme, for example

Mean as custard / Keen as mustard.

There are plenty of websites that discuss and list a handful of spoonerisms, and there are plenty of websites where you can search for rhymes. But I haven't yet found a website where you can search for spoonerisms. Does such a thing exist?

I mean some facility where I can say "I want to find all spoonerisms involving the word master" and it returns an alphabetic list like this:

master fumbled faster mumbeled
master fusing faster musing
master plural plaster mural
master plan plaster man
master vines vaster mines
...

If you are the first one to show me a website that does the above you'll get an automatic Best Answer!

Spoonerisms aren`t rhymes but just a mangling of the words to make them funnier.

The whole point is that Spoonerism's are spontaneously created to satisfy a need or because of a type of dyslexia. Sometimes they just happen when you least intend them - other times I do it deliberately to confuse or amuse or stress a point. They are of the moment and have no historical significance.

A spoonerism isn't so much of a rhyme, it is when you substitute consonants - so it can result in a rhyme but doesn't have to be.
