Spooner's Day

Spooner's Day

Spooners Day on July 22nd celebrates Spoonerisms, those tongue slips that most of us make all the time.

A Spoonerism is the name for the instance where you switch the first letters of words around as you talk. For instance if you say "swy flotter" instead of "fly swatter" or "runny babbit" instead of "bunny rabbit". The term was coined from Reverend W. A. Spooner, who was famous for making this mistake often.

Celebrate this holiday by refusing to be embarrassed when you misspeak. Like Spooner you should always embrace your quirks.
