Spazy Croonerisms 23
A spoonerism is a pair of words that can have their initial sounds switched to form new words.

There may sometimes be one or two connecting words (kick the stone & stick the cone, king of the rats & ring of the cats). Given the following definitions, what are the spoonerisms?
1) huge oval-shaped fruit related to the apple & submissive female equine
2) gloomy event prior to a funeral & exhausted male duck
3) prevailing style of light red dress & strong feeling toward a contemptible person
