Chew the doors, e.g. (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spoonerism

(Other definitions for spoonerism that I've seen before include "Verbal exchange of leading characters" , ""A lopping of sweaters", for example" , "occasional cluing technique" , "Regular announcement by old clergyman" , "Burly chassis for Shirley Bassey, say?" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
