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?

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