Do you have a fobile moan? They mostly have Bluetooth these days, I
think, so might be usable to test your adapter.
Never heard the term "fobile moan". It's "meaning"?
The juxtaposition of phonemes ?

mobile phone
mobile fone
fobile moan

I was about to disagree with your "phonemes" comment, but realized I
had misread "fobile" a "foible". I very nearly made myself out to be
a mucking foron.

This particular subgenre of phoneme switch is a Spoonerism.

I also picked "phonemes" because the joke involved a "phone".

The "spoonerism" bit, completely slipped my faulty memory.
I've heard of the term before, but it didn't bubble
forth from the dim recesses when needed.
