A palindrome should be called a wordrow. Or a droword, if it's just one word.

I make no guarantees for quality. If you don't like them, make up others.

 

1. _ (I h8 this 2nd pers txt prnoun)

2. _ _ (#3's genetic heritage, given only to her daughters)

3. _ _ _ (Lady's response to #11)

4. _ _ ' _ _ (Polite but shortened address for #3)

5. _ _ _ _ _ (Full version of #4, as used in #11)

6. _ _ _ _ _ _ (Palindromic woman's name meaning "Grace". Every time I meet someone with this name, I point out that her name is a palindrome. I'm sure that makes me obnoxious, but I just can't help myself. If I had had another daughter, I might have named her this.)

7. _ _ _   _ _ _ _ (Local marijuana dispensary?)

8. _ _ _ _   _ _ _ _ (Endless games in a billiards hall)

9. _ _ _ _ _   _ _ _ _ (mirkwood and friends dress up as a logical Star Trek character)

10. _ _ _ _ _   _ _ _ _ _ (Steals from a three-legged chair)

11. _ _ _ _ _,   _' _.  _ _ _ _. (First man's self-introduction upon meeting his wife)

12. "_ _ _ _ _ _?   _ _ _,   _ _ _." ("Who? You mean Tommy, the famous jazz trombonist? Right away, Rodney!")

13. "_' _   _ _   '_ _'   _ _ _ _ _ _ _!" ("I am a tidal wave of confidence that we two should be together, Keiko.")

14. _ _ _ _ _ _ _   _ _ _  _ _!   _ _! (Alas, spouse falsely claims he's not the father)

15. "_ _ ,  _ _,   _ _ _   _ _ _ _ _ _   _ _." ("Leave Estelle alone, Ebenezer and Allan!")

Didn't make the cut:

_ _ _ _   _ _ _ _ _ (Dearly departed hard rock?)

_ _ _   _ _ _ _ (Brit baby's endless dirty diaper cycle)

_ _ _ _   _ _ _ _ _ (#8 practices his hobby on his new boat)

I thought about including "Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog", but it was too long, too funny, and too not my work (which requirement doesn't apply to short classics like "Madam, I'm Adam").

Answers! Select between the asterisks (**) to see. EASY BUTTON: Just select all.

I don't think Palindrome Clues will be the next big thing. This was much more fun to make than I think it would be to solve.

By strange coincidence, this showed up on my Facebook account this morning from nine years ago today. I saw it literally seconds after posting to this thread. (I did slightly modify one of these from my original FB post for display on this forum. Betcha can't guess which one.) Clearly, this is a topic I have given more thought to that it really deserves.

Nine years! That's actually kind of...sad...

My proposal for palindromes:

If it's a single word (e.g. "racecar", "Hannah", "stats"), it's called a "droword".

If it's more than one word (e.g. "Able was I ere I saw Elba", "Madam, I'm Adam", "Aye, Vorty trove, ya!"), it's called a "word row".

Are we agreed?

Is this a seasonal thing for you? October is "time to play with palindromes month"?

Or....

Or maybe you're life is a palindrome and April 2018 was your mid-point.

But this means I'll live until I'm 110. That's not a palindrome. (But stat's a palindrome.)

The ultimate ownage. You're not merely smarter than I am, you literally figure out the puzzles that I can't EVEN WHEN I MADE THE PUZZLES. I've known this for many years, of course, but it's pretty hilarious to see it exhibited. Well done!
