# neither
is shoving leopard (example in the instructions) so there's not been a great start as far as accuracy
but since when have people followed the rules?

Why isn't Loving Shepherd / Shoving Leopard a Spoonerism?

# because
the spoonerism of loving shepherd would either be soving lhepherd or shoving lepherd
admittedly that sounds like leopard, but it's not a spoonerism

# yes it is.
Some of the more famous quotations attributed to Mr. Spooner include "The Lord is a shoving leopard," instead of "The Lord is a loving shepherd"

# no it wouldn't
a spoonerism is a spoken phenomenon. the written version should fit in with the pronunciation.
the famous example doesn't say "quear deen", and certainly not "qear dueen"

# shoving leopard is a spoonerism of loving shepherd
A spoonerism is a play on words in which corresponding consonants, vowels are switched to make up a new word.

Fraser for once got something right..
