spoonerism

A spoonerism is defined by the Webster Random House dictionary as: the inadvertent disposition of usually the initial sounds of words. For example: "A blushing crow took a crushing blow."
Meg: "...you're a smart fella, Dad."
Peter: "And you're a fart smeller, Meg presses her face to his butt then farts, hence completing the spoonerism."
