So glad you asked! There are different types with different names, but the traditional spoonerism is where you switch the first consonant sounds of two different words. The example above is baco tell, which is the spoonerism of Taco Bell.

Reddit has such a tiny, sad little spoonerism community. If we can infect all of Lemmy with it then I’ll be pleased.
I’m not the only one! I drive people crazy in conversations because they’ll be talking to me, and instead of keeping the conversation going I just repeat back what they say as spoonerisms. Also, backwards speak. When my brother and I were little we would be bored lying in bed unable to sleep so we would have conversations saying every word backwards and then try to figure out what the other was saying. We got pretty good at it to the point that my brain processes a lot of what people say backwards and forwards. I’m not as quick about it as I used to be, though.
This is one of my favorites because it grosses my kids out when I say it
Also, if we’re including food ingredients:

Noooo, this story can make me cry just thinking about it! Putting it in middle school textbooks was evil. Still one of my favorite shirt stories, though.
That’s grammatically correct in the neck of the woods I grew up.
It’s not an arcade-style game by any means, but I can’t recommend “Sky: Children of the Light” enough! My partner and I have been playing it daily for over 4 years and still can’t get enough of it. It’s hard to give it a proper description. It has a beautiful storyline with new seasonal stories that come out every 3 months or so. You play as a child of light whose mission is to banish darkness and shepherd spirits from a post-apocalyptic land into the stars. However, the real core of the game is the social aspect. It’s mmo-adjacent (typical server sizes are 8 players) with other players showing up as other children of light. You slowly make friendships using in-game currency and gifting each other friendship levels. You cannot chat with others at first and must communicate through a variety of emotes until you unlock chat in the friendship tree. The way communication and friendship is handled in the game makes it one of the most friendly and least toxic communities that I’ve found on the Internet. It’s also cross-play and cross-save between Android, iOS, Switch, PlayStation, and Steam. That Sky Game
It was referred to as a “suicide” in my neck of the woods.
Cishet guy here. I use the term “partner” all the time because I prefer nongendered relational terms. Plus, partner sounds a little more serious than saying “my girlfriend”. We’ve been together 8 years but are not interested in marriage, so I feel like it’s just the best word to use. It is amusing, though, when my partner isn’t present and I’m talking to a stranger, that they often just assume I’m gay when I use it.
Tetsuo, is that you?
In that case,I don’t think arming a dillo is a great idea.
I prefer peanut butter and banana, personally.
Reminds me of when my build in Minecraft doesn’t quite line up as I had imagined and I’m too lazy to fix it. Guess that happens in real life, too.
Well there’s a song I’ve not heard in a while, and one I’ve never seen referenced on the Internet. Kudos!
I was thinking Minecraft’s villagers vs illagers/pillagers, but I think yours is even better
