TV edit

Doesn't the sitcom series "King of Queens" have an Arthur Spooner?

Disclaimer edit

I have added a short paragraph to reflect the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, saying that many attributed Spoonerisms are thought to be apocryphal.

Moomin not originally in Finnish edit

"In the English translation of the children's book Finn Family Moomintroll by Tove Jansson, the characters Thingummy and Bob communicate in spoonerisms. In the original Finnish, they used Sananmuunnos."

This book was originally written in Swedish, as can be seen on its own Wikipedia-page.
