spoonerism--Mom

spoon·er·ism  (spn-rzm)
n.
A transposition of sounds of two or more words, especially a ludicrous one, such as Let me sew you to your sheet for Let me show you to your seat.

When Mom's flabbergasted, she sometimes creates spoonerisms. My favorie spoonerism was when she called a couple named Muff and Judge, "Juff and Mudge."
