Good Morning Riddlers!
Happy Tuesday!
and what better way to celebrate a Tuesday than with Spoonerisms!
PM me when you have the answer...
A spoonerism is a pair of words that can have their initial sounds switched to form new words. The pairs need only sound the same, not necessarily be spelled the same (power saw & sour paw, horse cart & coarse heart). There may sometimes be one or two connecting words (kick the stone & stick the cone, king of the rats & ring of the cats). Given the following definitions, what are the spoonerisms?
1) a brittle candy and a lock's need & a beverage and a beverage
2) pigmented coating on the upper surface of a room & a holy leper
Have a great day!
