I’m not the only one! I drive people crazy in conversations because they’ll be talking to me, and instead of keeping the conversation going I just repeat back what they say as spoonerisms. Also, backwards speak. When my brother and I were little we would be bored lying in bed unable to sleep so we would have conversations saying every word backwards and then try to figure out what the other was saying. We got pretty good at it to the point that my brain processes a lot of what people say backwards and forwards. I’m not as quick about it as I used to be, though.

In that case,I don’t think arming a dillo is a great idea.
I prefer peanut butter and banana, personally.
Reminds me of when my build in Minecraft doesn’t quite line up as I had imagined and I’m too lazy to fix it. Guess that happens in real life, too.
Well there’s a song I’ve not heard in a while, and one I’ve never seen referenced on the Internet. Kudos!
So glad you asked! There are different types with different names, but the traditional spoonerism is where you switch the first consonant sounds of two different words. The example above is baco tell, which is the spoonerism of Taco Bell.
