A spoonerism[^] is to swap parts of a pair of words or phrase, often the leading letters

I know it's long after the race and the result is now posted but I actually looked at INITIAL MOVE because all chess games obviously have one but I didn't see the Spooner connection. If I'd visualised it as INITIAL move instead I'd have completed answer and solution. Another time maybe.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

I have a particular attraction to spoonerism[^] and malapropism[^].
When I was younger (a long time ago) a friend of my Dad would have us in fits of laughter with his mixing up of words. He would take parts of two words that sort of meant what he wanted to say and merge them together to make a completely new word. We called them Dudleyisms in his honour.

Unfortunately, the fact that Tom solves it does not help other much about the answer.

I was so glad that you moved my OS X 10.6.x thread to the boondocks of the Systems Admin board. It wasn't as if I wanted someone to see the post and maybe give me an answer.
Also not like I have been here for the past 14 years and know where I want to post something to get an answer.

I did state that he was wasted as a developer.
And also wasted when he wasn't being a developer.
And on Weekends.

Hey now, he was sober when I met him two years ago.
A few hours later though...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
