A spoonerism is a pair of words that can have their initial sounds
switched to form new words. The pairs need only sound the same, not
necessarily be spelled the same (power saw & sour paw, horse cart &
coarse heart). There may sometimes be one or two connecting words
(kick the stone & stick the cone, king of the rats & ring of the
cats). Given the following definitions, what are the spoonerisms?
1) free bait & bee freight
2) jumping beans & bumping jeans
3) lobster motion & mobster lotion
4) ball four & fall boar
