Spoonerism?

It looks to me like a spoonerism with the first two letters exchanged. Fugyoo 23:32, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

dadgummit might be a clearer example. Fugyoo 23:36, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Not to me. Do we know an authority on such things? DCDuring TALK 01:41, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

w:Spoonerism to me implies unconscious error. This seems more like a euphemistic alteration. DCDuring TALK 01:43, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

But that is not a universally shared view.

In this case, however, the substitution is within a word and of more than the initial phoneme which would seem to stretch the definition beyond the usual. DCDuring TALK 01:51, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
