to think that user names that are spoonerisms should mean something?

There are a lot of spoonerised sweary names about at the moment.

PatFenis and BettySwollocks get a big tick because they suggest proper names

I love buppy's name, especially as it takes something as twee as cupcakes and bunting and completely subverts the concept.

CunningStunt gets a double tick because it forms two new words.

What I don't get are the names which don't create something else - along the lines of ShuckingFit.

So... my name name does not pass muster under your definition as "cadle" is not a word (although it is a place)

However, it was a spoonerism I used often - much to my embarressment Blush and received some strange looks from HV

YABU

If it's a place, then it's clearly just a geographical description of poo. Easy.

Greta dear, you are a genius. Grin

BanalChelping is the name I'm always trying to spoonerise Confused

GretaGip · 18/05/2012 11:06

Why tyvm Frank.

You are moist kind.

FrankWippery · 18/05/2012 11:21

Moist kind? Hmmmmm.

MardyBra · 18/05/2012 13:25

cadlecrap You get a bare pass because crap is a word. You don't get a merit or a distinction because Cadle isn't a recognisable word or place that any normal person would have heard of. Wink

But the HV story is great.

I have only ONE comment:

I need rhum and raisin ice cream.

Now.

MardyBra · 18/05/2012 13:34

? I don't get that Quint. [slow emoticon]

All this talk of spoons.

I usually eat ice cream with a spoon.

I dont how you can create new words with new meanings in such clever ways.

QuintessentialShadows · 18/05/2012 13:39

oh, and I even lost a "get".

Hmm
MeatSweats · 18/05/2012 13:39

I saw a Keith Burton on here a while back. Inspired I tell ya.

OTheHugeManatee · 18/05/2012 13:43

FlissPaps definitely passes. Fliss is an accepted diminutive of Felicity, and paps are breasts in some regional dialects.

So FlissPaps = Felicity's Breasts.

Now, if she was called BrelicitysFests, that would be lame. Grin

MardyBra · 18/05/2012 13:45

Hmm. I'd never made that connection OThe. Don't know any Flisses.
And whereabouts in the world do people have paps?

On their chests, you great steaming nit. Hmm

QuintessentialShadows · 18/05/2012 13:48

Oh, and here I was thinking "paps" is like "pops" or daddy.

GoPoldark · 18/05/2012 13:48

Quite like Brelicity. Very underused.

GoPoldark · 18/05/2012 13:50

Paps is Old Norse for boobies. E.g. Paps O Jura:

QuintessentialShadows · 18/05/2012 13:54

Still Pupp or Pupper (pl) in Norwegian. How come that one did not even click today?

MardyBra · 18/05/2012 13:56

"On their chests, you great steaming nit."

You knew what I meant. Grrr.

Grand Teton in the States means big tit too

And of course there are the Bappage Mountains in North Carolina, and Bazooka Tump in the New Forest.

MardyBra · 18/05/2012 14:01

Hmm. I actually googled that Poldark. Blush

CadleCrap - Cadle means place of battle in Welsh. Prn 'Cad-ler' though rather than Cay-dul.
