A spoonerism is an error in speech or deliberate play on words in which corresponding consonants, vowels, or morphemes are switched... between two words in a phrase. ... It is named after the Reverend William Archibald Spooner (1844–1930), ... who was notoriously prone to this mistake.

The easiest spoonerisms are created from two words which both begining with consonant sounds.
To spoonerize "Hello Kitty":
1. Repalace the "H" in "Hello" with the "K" from "Kitty"
2. Repalace the "K" in "Kitty" with the "H" from "Hello"
The spoonerism is "Kello Hitty".
To spoonerize phrases with more than two words, replace the begining sound of each word with the begining sound of the previous word.
To spoonerize "Red, White, Blue":
1. Repalace the "R" in "Red," with the "Bl" from "Blue"
2. Repalace the "Wh" in "White," with the "R" from "Red,"
3. Repalace the "Bl" in "Blue" with the "Wh" from "White,"
The spoonerism is "Bled, Rite, Whue".
Sadly, it just isn't possible to spoonerize every phrase. Often when each word in a phrase begins with the same sound, the phrase is unspoonerable.
To spoonerize "Wonder Woman":
1. Repalace the "W" in "Wonder" with the "W" from "Woman"
2. Repalace the "W" in "Woman" with the "W" from "Wonder"
The spoonerism is "Wonder Woman".
