I am not quite sure what your question is. However, Spoonerism are usually defined as a transposition of sounds in two or more words> Strictly speaking, your examples would not qualify as true "spoonerisms". They have been called spoonerisms in reference to William a Victorian era Oxford Don who was prone to Spoonerisms.
