I was thinking Minecraft’s villagers vs illagers/pillagers, but I think yours is even better

So glad you asked! There are different types with different names, but the traditional spoonerism is where you switch the first consonant sounds of two different words. The example above is baco tell, which is the spoonerism of Taco Bell.

Reddit has such a tiny, sad little spoonerism community. If we can infect all of Lemmy with it then I’ll be pleased.

I’m not the only one! I drive people crazy in conversations because they’ll be talking to me, and instead of keeping the conversation going I just repeat back what they say as spoonerisms. Also, backwards speak. When my brother and I were little we would be bored lying in bed unable to sleep so we would have conversations saying every word backwards and then try to figure out what the other was saying. We got pretty good at it to the point that my brain processes a lot of what people say backwards and forwards. I’m not as quick about it as I used to be, though.

This is one of my favorites because it grosses my kids out when I say it

Also, if we’re including food ingredients:

Noooo, this story can make me cry just thinking about it! Putting it in middle school textbooks was evil. Still one of my favorite shirt stories, though.

EEER

That typo made me chuckle.

That’s par for the course for me. I’m the type that’ll start a video game on the hardest difficulty for a challenge and then my pride won’t let me lower the difficulty so I just quit under the guise of disliking it.

As someone who has never tried Linux, this meme has done more to make me want to give it a try than anything else Linux users have thrown at me so far. The fox is very convincing. I might step into the back of an unmarked van if it asked me to.

It’s not an arcade-style game by any means, but I can’t recommend “Sky: Children of the Light” enough! My partner and I have been playing it daily for over 4 years and still can’t get enough of it. It’s hard to give it a proper description. It has a beautiful storyline with new seasonal stories that come out every 3 months or so. You play as a child of light whose mission is to banish darkness and shepherd spirits from a post-apocalyptic land into the stars. However, the real core of the game is the social aspect. It’s mmo-adjacent (typical server sizes are 8 players) with other players showing up as other children of light. You slowly make friendships using in-game currency and gifting each other friendship levels. You cannot chat with others at first and must communicate through a variety of emotes until you unlock chat in the friendship tree. The way communication and friendship is handled in the game makes it one of the most friendly and least toxic communities that I’ve found on the Internet. It’s also cross-play and cross-save between Android, iOS, Switch, PlayStation, and Steam. That Sky Game

It was referred to as a “suicide” in my neck of the woods.

Cishet guy here. I use the term “partner” all the time because I prefer nongendered relational terms. Plus, partner sounds a little more serious than saying “my girlfriend”. We’ve been together 8 years but are not interested in marriage, so I feel like it’s just the best word to use. It is amusing, though, when my partner isn’t present and I’m talking to a stranger, that they often just assume I’m gay when I use it.

Progressive-leaning lesbian and vehemently anti-Trump, actually. She was very much a part of LGBTQ+ culture in the 90s, and the ear piercing thing was a part of it at the time. Though it really has fallen to the wayside nowadays.

Or, as my mom so concisely put it when I was a child, “Right is wrong if you’re straight.”

Tetsuo, is that you?

Whenever I see “cishet” I pronounce it in my head “sishay”, like how one pronounces sachet. Makes being cishet sound pretty fabulous.
