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").

Vort Posted October 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 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... Vort October 24, 2013 · Shared with Public 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?

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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
