I notice there are entries on spoonerisms, malapropisms, but no collection - so I'm starting my own.

This is a favourite told to me by my boss - author not revealed - How about going to France on a CROSS FLANNEL CHERRY?

I had a customer who put RADOX tyres on his van.

On seing a fine expensive two seater my wife declared 'That's a really SPOSH car.' (sports + posh)

And one from my sister - for that's a possibility - that's a PISSIBOLITY.

Spooner Gorge - not sure how it would work, but malaprop gorge might work scoring points for each malapropism.
