Yes, it is a spoonerism. Named for a teacher and clergyman named Spooner (earlier 20th century) who had a tendency to do this a lot.
Webster's New Collegiate gives as their example, "sons of toil " for "tons of soil".
I do it a lot with couple names. When speaking of a friends named Bill and Hilda, I often call them "Hill and Bilda"............
Usually somebody picks it up, but often it just goes right by everyone!

Are you looking for medical diagnosis or just "I'm exhausted (or drunk) and can't speak in a straight line?
If you're going medical-auditory dyslexia and 'sometimes' auditory processing disorder.
If you're going for exhausted and can't talk-you've got the classic tongue-tied and you need to get some rest.
If you're discussing drunk-delayed articulatory sot
