Snoopervision

Supervision for the expressed purpose of making sure there is no snooping done.

To your roommate: "Don't let my parents into my room without your snoopervision. I didn't get a chance to hide my diary very well, so an un-snooper-vised visit could be disastrous"

Snooperism

A misspelling or mispronuciation of a word in which two letters are switched. The well-established term Spoonerism refers to the switching of letters or sounds within a phrase. Snooperism refers to the same phenomenon occurring specifically inside a single word. The word Snooperism is itself a Snooperism if one means to say Spoonerism.

A: "Three cheers for our queer old dean!" Ha! Didn't you mean to say "dear old queen?" There's a word for such a fumble, isn't there? A Snooperism, right?

B: So what if I uttered a Spoonerism? You fool, you've just committed a Snooperism!
