I believe the answer is:

spoonerism

(Other definitions for spoonerism that I've seen before include ""A lopping of sweaters", for example" , "Burly chassis for Shirley Bassey, say?" , "Verbal exchange of leading characters" , "Regular announcement by old clergyman" , "A slip of the tongue? -- no promises (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
