A spoonerism is a pair of words that can have their initial sounds switched to form new words. The pairs need only sound the same, not necessarily be spelled the same (power saw & sour paw, horse cart & coarse heart). There may sometimes be one or two connecting words (kick the stone & stick the cone, king of the rats & ring of the cats).
Given the following definitions, what are the spoonerisms?
1. to affix a worm to the end of a fishing line & to dislike a novel
2. to move by foot at a slow gait for eight furlongs & to ridicule for an unspecified amount of time
