I remember once, Strong Bad said "Cutting arts, state-of-the-edge!"... but I don't remember the email he said it in. In which he said it. --DumDe 20:24, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. It isn't exactly a spoonerism, but is there any other article word play like that could be documented? Or is there one already? --DumDe 11:07, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Drain bamage

"Drain bamage" is by no means unique to the Homestar Runner Universe. Google returns abundant results. (Hyetal 17:06, 9 July 2009 (UTC))

It is a spoonerism nonetheless. If words are mangled, it's a spoonythingy. Just because the joke has been used before doesn't mean it is less of a spoonerism or even a non-original joke. I "invented" that joke before I even knew of Homestar Runner. --Jellote wuz here 17:29, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Hoot-Smawley

Hey there: MN congresswoman Michele Bachmann actually made this very mistake recently and I'd guess the mention in Homestar Runner is a reference to this. I do not know if that even matters, but there you go.

Ballad of the Sneak was made in June 2003, that news article describes an event in April, 2009.  Green Helmet 16:12, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

A Three Man Oney?

In the sbemail Army, didnt the whole song and dance with the three man oney, and the three to one marney, and other sayings like that, represent a spoonerism? me thinks so! It is very close. Sure, there were a few words added, but it still reads spoonerisms all over it!
