marrowsky 的词源

“一种变形语言，其中相邻单词的首辅音被互换”[牛津英语词典]，1863年，据说源自一位波兰伯爵的名字。可以与 spoonerism 相比较，后者描述的也是同样的现象。

MARROWSKYING, subs. (general).—At the London University they had a way of disguising English (described by Albert Smith, in Mr. Ledbury, 1848, as the 'Gower-street dialect'), which consisted in transposing the initials of words; as 'poke a smipe' = smoke a pipe; 'flutter-by' = butterfly; 'stint of pout' = pint of stout; etc. This is often termed MARROWSKYING. [Farmer and Henley, "Slang and Its Analogues," 1896]
