Really Cool Words
I am a lover of really cool words so I have a collection of them, and I am always looking for new additions...for this challenge please select a cool word that you like. It doesn't have to be super long to be interesting, it could be the way it sounds or just an intriguing definition. Then write the definition of the word and why you like it/chose it. This one is a monarchy, and please tag me in the comments. :)
Spoonerism
I like this word both for the meaning and for the name. A spoonerism is an error in speech where corresponding consonants, vowels, and morphemes are switched between two words in a phrase. For example, if I'm flustered I might say, "Bunny phone," instead of, "Funny bone."
I like it because it's super amusing, and also I feel for the guy who this word is named after. William Archibald Spooner was an ordained minister famous for mixing up his words during his speeches, and if I didn't avoid public speaking the plague already, learning about him definitely cemented that avoidance in me lol
