fpoon
Language: English
Part of speech: noun

Senses: examples: text: What began as a hobby became a serious research project when they realized such errors reveal a lot about the mind. For instance, when Reverend William A. Spooner said "foon and spork" instead of "spoon and fork," he revealed that we speak in units of phonemes. No English speaker would say "fpoon and sork" by accident, since "sp" is an indivisible phoneme.
ref: 1980, Discover, Time, page 80:
text: It is interesting that native speakers of English, when they spoonerize, almost always stay within the bounds of English phonetics. Thus, for instance, "spoon and fork" would never be spoonerized as "fpoon and sork". This indicates that an autonomous process in charge of phonetics alone is at work in the mind during speech production.
ref: 1989, Michigan Quarterly Review, volume 28, numbers 2-4, University of Michigan, page 189:
