Dr. Grammar - Fun with Words
Richard Lederer's Verbivore web site says the following of itself: "Welcome to the web site woven for wordaholics, logolepts, and verbivores. Carnivores eat meat; herbivores eat plants and vegetables; verbivores devour words. If you are heels over head (as well as head over heels) in love with words, tarry here awhile to graze or, perhaps, feast on the English language." Tarry at Lederer's site, the first listed below, but graze among the others for word and phrase origins, language problems, word games, word oddities, and discussions of words in the news. There is only one rule, rule 35, HAVE FUN.

Spoonerism

Oxymora
Pangram
Mnemonic

Spoonerism Know what a Spoonerism is? Here are a couple of examples:
Go and shake a tower Well-boiled icicle The phrases seem normal enough but they aren't, because what the speaker intended to say was 'go take a shower' and 'well oiled bicycle' instead of what he did! Spoonerisms are phrases, sentences, or words in language with sounds swapped. Usually this is done by accident, particularly if you're speaking fast. Come and wook out of the lindow is another example! Spoonerisms are named after the Reverend W. A. Spooner (1844-1930) who was Dean and Warden of New College in Oxford, England. He is reputed to have made these verbal slips frequently. Reverend Spooner's tendency to get words and sounds mixed up could happen at any time, but especially when he was agitated. He reprimanded one student for "fighting a liar in the quadrangle" and another who "hissed my mystery lecture."
