Spoonerisms

Snowcat

And maybe another for y'all

"Soar I do not and wings I do not have, yet an italian throws me aloft and our contemparies keep me there."

"What am I?"

And what the hey, while I'm on a roll:-

"From geometric waters outside the dungeon be me. Many have come here but few have left....."

"WHERE am I?"

What's the difference between an opposition leader and a Shakespearean character that makes cars?

One is called Lord Fear and the other is called Ford Lear.

You could probably make anything Knightmare-related into a spoonerism, it's making up the question that's the hard part!

For example, you could make Mount Fear into Fount Meer, but thinking up a riddle to go with that is next to impossible!

?

Does a spoonerism have to change like this

Mount Fear--->Fount Mear

or can it be any letters

Mount Fear--->Count Sear

(I am not an idiot I just cannot remember this)

DavidNewton

In a spoonerism you have to reverse the first letters of each word - "Fount Mear", as you said.

Other examples include "Get me a well-boiled icicle", "You have tasted a whole worm" and "Is the bean dizzy?"

?

Thanks for reminding me?

Drassil

This is a slightly rude contribution and I apologise:

What's the difference between the Dungeon Antechamber and a urinal with a custodian who charges money?

In one are Pickle and Treguard, and in the other, you trickle then pay guard.

HStorm

LOL! No apology necessary, Drass! That one's perfect.

?

Great work Drass

Drassil

Thanks. Ready for some more?

What's the difference between...

...A cat shedding hair in high temperatures, and a jester coming to a stop?

One's molting hotly, and the other's a halting Motley.

...Hordriss and Golgarach?

One's walking tall, and the other's...

A female parent's orthodontic device, and a tavern monk?

One's a mother brace, the other is...

...Good driving and a Goblin Master?

One's car skill and the other's...

HStorm

Clever stuff. You've clearly been putting a lot of thought into them. How sad. Still I'm the one who invented the topic, so who am I to talk?

I'll add 'em to the page soon.

Drassil

So, I've gone from 'perfect' to 'sad' within a few posts. Oh well, that's life.

Skarkill

I'm not sure if this is a Spoonerisam but here gose.

What Is The Differrenc Between Fidjit & Skarkill ?

One Picks Locks The Other Locks You In The Stocks.

HStorm

So, I've gone from 'perfect' to 'sad' within a few posts. Oh well, that's life.

Let's compromise. You're perfectly sad. How does that sound?

And no, Skarkill, I'm afraid it's not a spoonerism you've got there, it's just a rhyme. Sorry 'bout that.

MoanaLiza

Could a spoonerism be something like this:

What is the difference between an Majida and an elf?

One is annoying, loud mouthed and insulting and the other is Elita!

Or is this something completely different?

I don't know if one like that one or a similar one has been used in another thread before by someone else. Sorry to the person if it has!

HStorm

No that's not a spoonerism either. Although it might be classed as a satirical riddle, so I might include it.

MoanaLiza

It was worth a try though. I am never any good at them sorts of things though. Drassil in the mean time seems to be a natural when it comes to the old jokes, spoonerisms, etc. His jokes make me laugh .

Drassil

A very kind thing for you to say in your thousandth post! Thank you.

Snowcat

Whoops!

Me definately got the wrong type of riddle!

Apologies for the triple post thread hi-jack, I kept on remembering during each lecture break..... Shoulda just started a thread of me own. Sorrrreeeeee.

For those who may have tried the riddles at the top of the thread answers are:-

Steam Train (Like cars often refered to as 'horseless carraiges')
Helicopter (Rotors instead of wings and first designed by Leonardo da Vinci but only built in modern times.)
Bermuda TRIANGLE insert groan here

I'll try and get the 'script' right next time!
