Transpositional error of speech (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spoonerism

(Other definitions for spoonerism that I've seen before include "occasional cluing technique" , "Burly chassis for Shirley Bassey, say?" , "Verbal exchange of leading characters" , ""A lopping of sweaters", for example" , "Regular announcement by old clergyman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
