As I'm driving, I tend to obsess over license plate double entendres, and I've heard this is common among aspies.

But I have this other thing I've NEVER heard of before.

The moment i see any short phrase in writing, my brain screams a "Wacky Packages" version of same. People somewhat younger than me will relate to this as "Garbage Pail Kids."

For example, when I see the coffee creamer brand "Cremora," my brain screams "CREMATA!"

It is not quite a voice in my head, but it's darn close. Does anyone else get this? I hope I'm not the only one.

I don't know if this is the same sort of thing but I compulsively Spoonerise words, and swap round whole syllables, all the time, mostly inside my head but sometimes I say it out loud too. My brain likes playing with language.
