Anagrams do not equal spoonerisms, people.
"A spoonerism is a play on words in which corresponding consonants, vowels, or morphemes are switched. It is named after the Reverend William Archibald Spooner (1844–1930), Warden of New College, Oxford, who was notoriously prone to this tendency.
While spoonerisms are commonly heard as slips of the tongue (sometimes spoonerised as tips of the slung), resulting from unintentionally getting one's words in a tangle, they are considered a form of pun when used purposely as a play on words, as here."
"An anagram (Greek anagramma 'letters written anew', passive participle of ana- 'again' + gramma 'letter') is a type of word play, the result of rearranging the letters of a word or phrase to produce other words, using all the original letters exactly once..."
Just a friendly reminder from the grammar police.

Sooooo... ruddfuckers instead of Fuddruckers (an actual restaurant here in LA and elsewhere) would be both an anagram and a spoonerism by that technicality, but none of the rest would be technically anagrams or spoonerisms?
But
sang toward the tang of the sword
is still a neat turn of phrase regardless of technicalities, yes? Is it an "honorable mention" spoonerism? I would think so...

Okay, so ten out of ten for style, but minus several million for good thinking, yeah?
