I only ever heard one, yonks ago on RTE radio. A DJ called Vincent Hanley (who has since gone to a far away radio station) wanted to say: here's two pieces on the fiddle". But he mixed up the P and F, and it sounded like: "here's two faeces on the piddle." :p

My first boss (back in the eighties) once tried to say that someone was "chomping at the bit" but what came out was "biting at the chip"

My old French teacher was trying to teach us the meaning of "Premier Etage" in the "Voila Mr. Thibaut" audio visual series.
Only problem was, he could not say "1st floor" or "1st storey".
Instead, he would come out with "store" or "florey".

Not a spoonerism but gave me a laugh nonetheless. Happened to hear the phone show on FM104 last night. They were discussing people who hate children :rolleyes: This yoke came on giving it loads about how she cant stands the little runts. Then she says: "if I found out i was pregnant I'd abort meself. I'd swim across the bleedin' Atlantic to England and get an abortion" :D

Martin Dahlin - on Swedish TV after Germany vs. Ireland at the 2002 World Cup:

"Gay Shiven had a good game in goal for Ireland'

Not Quite a spoonerism

My sister put on 2 slices of bread in the toaster and left the room. Instead of yelling to her that the 'toast popped up' I somehow contrived to utter the immortal words the 'Pope tossed up'!
Please nobody take any offence, I just had to share it when I stumbled on this thread.

Wasn't it Conor McNamara on TV3 who called the Irish captain 'Kunny Kenningham'?
