Five SpoonerismsLanguage brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.A spoonerism is a pair of words that can have the initial sounds switched to form new words. For example, "churning bear" is a spoonerism for "burning chair" (note that the pairs do not have to be spelled the same - only sound the same). From the definitions below, can you figure out the spoonerism pairs?
