Spazy Croonerisms 2
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) canine fur & porcine challenge
2) rock toss & to pack up royal furniture
3) arsonist's desire & to battle a fibber
4) underground amphibian & bar rules

I got #1 and almost #2 and missed 3 and4
It was okay. but really hard I never get these. But when i look at the naser it always makes sense. so they were pretty kool!
I couldn't get all of them but it was spiffy once I saw the answers.
I love spoonerisms! Unfortunately, i really stink at 'em. Keep the good ones comin tho!
This one was easier...either that or I am getting better at them. I got all but the last one, but that threw me 'cause I was thinking pub, not tavern.
I DON'T LIKE THESE I THINK THEY ARE VERY DULL
Darn it, I couldn't get #4. Great teaser.
I knew that the first one had to be HOG DARE because that was the spoonerism of DOG HAIR, but is a porcupine really a hog? I always learn something new.
