About the Holiday

Spooner's Day celebrates the birthday of British Reverend William Archibald Spooner born on July 22, 1844. Spooner was known for his many slips of the tongue or flip flopping of words now referred to as spoonerisms. There are several spoonersims attributed to Rev. Spooner. Below are just a few:

Instead of saying "cozy little nook" he said "nosey little cook".

Instead of saying "our dear old Queen" he said "our queer old Dean".
