I don't know if it is just me but my tongue has become
considerably less nimble than in the days of yore. I have
trouble with intricate words such as Venenzia and scramble
others. Recently to the amusement of my family I called the
Geek Squad the Gook Squad.

William Spooner was an Oxford Don who went from student to
Warden (head) of the college. Though famed for Latin
translations he was also known for verbal faux pas where
the sounds of two words are accidentally transposed .

Some famous ones are as follows

Ye Noble tons of soil for noble sons of toil.
A blushing crow for a crushing blow.
Our queer old Dean for Our dear old queen. Bet that one went over well!!
Is the bean dizzy? for is the dean busy and best of all
for announcing a hymn from the pulpit as Kinkering Congs for
Conquering Kings and
A nosy little cook for a cozy little nook.
Occupewing my pie for occupying my pew. You can probably
think of others.

Now I am pleading my approaching 84th birthday to absolve me
of my speech problems. That is when I officially become an
old lady. I occupy my time in trivial ways sometimes, hence
this post.
