Answer 2

A spoonerism is a play on words in which corresponding consonants, vowels, or morphemes are switched (see metathesis). It is named after the Reverend William Archibald Spooner (1844–1930), Warden of New College, Oxford, who was notoriously prone to this tendency.

One day Spooner told a student, "You hissed my mystery lecture and can leave Oxford by the town drain."
Another time he referred to Queen Victoria as "our queer old dean."
He once told an audience, "We all know what it is to have a half-warmed fish inside us." He meant to say "a half-formed wish."
