Wikipedia lists all of the (most likely apocryphal) examples supposedly uttered by the Rev.
Quotations attributed to Spooner include:
* "The Lord is a shoving leopard" ("loving shepherd")
* "It is kisstomary to cuss the bride" ("customary to kiss")
* "Mardon me, padam, this pie is occupewed. Can I sew you to another sheet?" (Pardon me, madam, this pew is occupied. Can I show you to another seat?")
* To a student: "You have hissed all my mystery lectures, and were caught fighting a liar in the quad. Having tasted two worms, you will leave by the next town drain" ("missed ... history," "lighting a fire," "wasted two terms," "down train")
* To a lady at a college reception: "You'll soon be had as a matter of course" ("mad as a Hatter, of course")
* "Let us raise our glasses to the queer old Dean" ("dear old queen")
* "We'll have the hags flung out" ("flags hung")
* "a half-warmed fish" ("half-formed wish")
* "Is the bean dizzy?" ("dean busy")
* "Go and shake a tower" ("take a shower")
* "a well-boiled icicle" ("well-oiled bicycle")
A semi-famous sporting one, allegedly from 70s BBC Grandstand, is Crystal phallus pans.

A chef I used to work under was explaining a special to the servers and noted that the pearl onions had been confited in "fuck dat."
