Kniferism and Forkerism

Related to spoonerisms

kniferism; switch middle of the word,
like hypodeemic nurdles (hypodermic needles)
a "noted woman columnist" becomes a "noted woolen communist"

forkerism:  switch letters at the end of the word
like "Wadley Barber" becomes "Wadler Barbie"

These are rarer because they are more difficult to construct.
