View Full Version : backwards and forwards Warm & Fuzzy 01-26-2002, 02:57 AM I know that there is a special name for these kind of pharses/words, but I don;t know it, LOL. anyway, What are some words that you can think of that is spelled the same backwards and forwards? Example: RACE CAR LucyFan 01-26-2002, 03:09 AM Anna Bob Bub Gig Viv LOL level deed poop noon wow yay pup dud dad mom huh bib sis SOS gag Truth 01-26-2002, 03:44 AM Did lol..... thats the only one i can think of that hasnt been said...... Bootsy Whoosh 01-26-2002, 04:16 AM They're called palindromes....(I think...) radar kayak "Madam, I'm Adam." "A man, a plan, a canal-Panama." and of course, my ultimate all time favorite: "Stressed? No tips? Spit on desserts!" that's all I can think of now. Incidently, I just read something in the newspaper a little while back talking about how this is a palindromic year (2002). Also 1991 was a palindromic year. The last time 2 palindromic years have occured so close together was 999 and 1001. And then they went on about how unusual it is to live through 2 palindromic years in a lifetime. Mossopp 01-26-2002, 09:45 AM Bootsy is right - sentences or words that are spelt the same way backwards and forwards are called palendromes. "Rise to vote sir" is a palendromic sentence.
