Dall smut vicious bog


Following on from our last post, folks have been asking us what a spoonerism is.

It's basically when you jumble up the letters of a word by mistake, creating entirely new meanings to a sentance- for example "can I sew you to your sheet?" (can I show you to your seat?)

It's named after a chap from Oxford who was particularly prone to it- you can find out more, and have a go at making some here

Spoonerisms and other word/letter jumbles are worth paying attention to if you need to come up with cool titles on a frequent basis. Sometimes a mispoken phrase will come up with something striking that makes for a great name. "Eight Days a Week" and "Hard Day's Night" are just two examples of this...(ok, some of us here know far too much about the Beatles)

Here's just some of gibberish we've been coming out with lately:

Dramasticly (the Lure of the Liche Lord manuscript is dramasticly better)

Decomplify (we need to decomplify the trap rules)

Dynamicism (The mutation tables have a lot of dynamicism)

drog sniffing droogs (The police had drog sniffing droogs)

Questinate (the players will need to Questinate the locals)
