904.0. "The sounds seem to be bass-ackwards" by STAR::CANTOR (IM2BZ2P) Wed Jul 31 1991 04:28

I noticed the word 'flutterby' in the word association-football note.
That word is kind of spoonerism on the word 'butterfly'.

Another pair of words that have this property are

     snowflake -- flowsnake

Are there others?
