Spazy Croonerisms 22
A spoonerism is a pair of words that can have their initial sounds switched to form new words. The pairs need only sound the same, not necessarily be spelled the same (power saw & sour paw, horse cart & coarse heart). 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) trepidation of positive verticality & audio awareness of brawls
2) using scissors on a cellulose writing surface & strange behavior while stroking on the green
3) to strike a small burrowing mammal with a fist & to chew on a long slender piece of wood
4) manager of track athletes & sly hard-to-kill crawling insect
