I go out on a limb to fix a member inside
With iron, I describe something for cooking that’s fried

When I’m put together with stars
I help to make something viewable from cars

When with a ballot, a right is exercised
I might be away if one’s ship has capsized

What am I?

I am one simple word, but I mean different things
One of my meanings brings great forceful swings,
The other of me, may have curve, like the first…
But only one meaning can help quench a thirst.
One of my meanings will often bring cheers,
Either of them could hold a few beers.

What word am I?

A spoonerism is a pair of words that can have their initial sounds switched to form new words. The pairs need only sound the same, not necessarily be spelled the same (power saw & sour paw, horse cart & coarse heart). There may sometimes be one or two connecting words (kick the stone & stick the cone, king of the rats & ring of the cats). Given the following definitions, what are the spoonerisms?

1) to affix a worm to the end of a fishing line & to dislike a novel
2) to move by foot at a slow gait for eight furlongs & to ridicule for an unspecified amount of time
3) to strike a cooking utensil with the foot & to select a cylindrical metal container
4) to cook a turtle’s covering in an oven & to wave a clanging instrument with a jerky motion
