Don't hold your breath yet
In a few moments (for a sufficiently large value of 'moment'), this will become Spoonerism.

Spoonerism comes from the name of the Rev. William Archibald Spooner (1844-1930), a kindly but nervous Anglican clergyman and educationalist. The term denominates the accidential transposition of usually initial sounds in a pair of words. For example, Spooner once wanted to say
The Lord is a loving shepherd.
in a sermon, but ended up saying
The Lord is a shoving leopard.
Ha ha. Now that's funny. I want to post spoonerisms, germanisms, idiotisms and all other kinds of textisms here, so we can all point and laugh at the people who committed them.

Or maybe we'll even learn from their mistakes.
