Subject: RE: BS: Spoonerisms
Like Yogi Berra, I suspect that the Rev. Spooner never said everything he said. Nevertheless, it sounds credible that he'd announce the hymn "From Iceland's Greasy Mountains". I also heard that he rendered the geological term "erratic blocks" (boulders transferred far from their original location by the Ice Age) as "erotic blacks".
