The Wordplay Thread

LongHopCassidy · 26-04-2006, 09:13 PM

This is the place to dump all your witty palindromes, anagrams etc.

Just to get the thread going:

Marcus Edward Trescothick: I scored a duck? Screw that, Mr!

Vanilla Pepsi: Nipple Saliva

Mother-in-Law: Woman Hitler

Marc Robbins: Man Robs Crib

And some palindromes:

Step on no pets.

Rise to vote, sir!

Ed, I spotted a clam in an animal cadet topside.

Of course, feel free to contribute any other types of wordplay.

I wrote this back in November 2003 (back in the days when life was simpler, motivation was measured in breadcrumbs and laughter its own reward) - this seems as good a place for it to see out its twilight years (it was originally referenced as 'DD finds anagram dictionary')....

Not long to wait now before Shane Warne can return to the Australian test side, his mum all forgiven and him squeaky-clean. In keeping with today's theme, the following is the last test side he played in, against England in November/December 2002.

Now I hope you won't have to use your imagination TOO much before you agree with me. Is this the rudest cricket side of all time? Or is it me?

No, it is me, isn't it? You can tell me. I can take it (well, Shane knows someone who can).

Just inner gal
Whet handy meat
Tiny pric k gon
Dirty mean man
Ran, held men, ran
She hug, wet, nap
Act dam girlish
Ensnare haw
Letter be
Ogles jeans pile
Glenn McGrath

Sheer, unadulterated filth the lot of them.

I rest my case (no, he wasn't the 12th man)

Two I know from years of following Football:

David Ginola is an anagram of Vagina dildo

Finsbury Park (underground station near Highbury) backwards is krapy rub snif

Fratton Park backwards is Krap Nottarf, usually interpreted as "Crap? Not half!".

Douglas is an anagram of loud gas.

Immature, but funny nevertheless.

Reminds me of Full Frontal, where they had this guy who always went on Ray Martin's TV show taking advantage of Ray's indignance to the word "crap" (back when it was a swear word), and one day he asked how Luna Park was pronounced backwards (with the word order still the same).

Hahaha yeah, i remember. Full Frontal was awesome.

Still catch Full Frontal on the Comedy Channel. The originals and the "Totally Full Frontal" which wasn't as good, but it still had some of the original cast.

Classic show.

I don't know how Full Frontal managed to go on so long and never get old. Why can absolutely none of the sketch shows these days emulate that? It's so far ahead of the competition in a way only Family Guy can relate to nowadays.
