Spoonerisms are words or phrases that accidentally or intentionally have their beginning letters or syllables swapped to reveal a different meaning.
Example: a serious setback / an embarrassed raven? = crushing blow / blushing crow
-1. legume / spotted a lad? -2. with these means / lager induced euphoria? -3. driving hazard / flagstaff overheated? -4. out of Boston Creme and pumpkin / collection of inventions? -5. one who studies mixology / one who manipulates road patch? -6. regressive / cuckoo cuckoo? -7. on a large scale / a single cry? -8. one who doesn't make use of trash cans / grievous simple man? -9. phrase for a disobedient child / give a cat-like warning and stare? -10. type of laptop / pigeonhole on a sloop?
Did you ever stop to think and then forget to start again?

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
