a spooner - You swap the start of two words and make a mess of your spee

You swap the start of two words and make a mess of your speech. It’s stupid and usually happens when you’re trying too hard.

I said 'flicky wicks' instead of 'wicky flicks' and my friend called me a spooner

I said 'snooze beans' instead of 'nooze beans' and my dog laughed at me

I told my teacher I wanted 'flicky beans' and she said I was a spooner
