Outstanding Anagrams
Posted on | November 8, 2009 | No Comments
An anagram is a type of word play, the result of rearranging the letters of a word or phrase to produce a new word or phrase, using all the original letters exactly once. Great anagrammatists create words or phrases that reflect or comment on their subject. Here’s a collection of outstanding anagrams, some of them created as early as 1898.
Madonna Louise Ciccone – Occasional nude income
A gentleman – Elegant man
A decimal point – I’m a dot in place
The Morse Code – Here come dots
The countryside – No city dust here
Snooze alarms – Alas, no more Z’s
William Shakespeare – I am a weakish speller
Rocky Mountains – O man, ski country
Stormy weather – Showery matter
Waitress – A stew, sir?
Conversation – Voices rant on
