Weird Al has a song called "Bob" which is written entirely in palindromic lines https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAfIikFnvuI

How the absolute fuck do you even go about writing something like this? This poem is beyond impressive.

Shouldn't that be, "Oh, to be man, a sin" instead of "Oh, to be 'a' man, a sin"? Feel like it was mistranscribed.

If I read it backward, the spaces are in the wrong locations and the letters are facing the wrong way; So, no, it is not the same.
NickRivieraMD
to go by your rules would make a dull read. these are typically the rules for something like this. E.g. "A man, a plan, a canal, Panama."
NickRivieraMD
If anything, making a palindrome that can arrange into different words backwards is more challenging, and certainly more fun to read.

I’m not racist, but this was a solid poem.

I is the middle letter in "still if I fill". Also, "a man" should be just "man", otherwise there would be an error. I'm bored.

How do you expect me to respect something that didn’t even mention “Taco Cat?”

on the subject of Taco, did anyone else think the thumbnail was Jon Lajoie and then think "hey. That isn't a palindrome"?

His show was literally hit or miss. Half of his jokes were comical, the others were absolutely terrible. Still got on TV tho so no bad?

He had a tv show too. It's called "Important Things". I believe there are a few seasons.

Emordnilap is the name for a word that is a different word backwards. So emordnilap is an emordnilap for palindrome
Lichelf
Emordnilap is not in any dictionary. It was made up by some guy on Tumblr.

Which is the definition of a word, that when spelled backwards translates to another word. Neat

Thank you. It takes more than a few people who use, and really only when this issue arises, a word for it to pass into official use.
xXJoshXx
An example is dessert and stressed, so therefore 'palindrome emordnilap' is a palindrome enpordnilap!
SomeCrazyNerd
That word was literally made up for a conversation on Tumblr that went exactly like this. It's like you're enacting some ridiculous play.

iTakeQuotesOutOfContext
It definitely isn’t, I just checked so thanks for that. Emordnilap doesn’t follow general rules for constructing words in English 1/2

And it doesn’t have a root language, so the word would never be constructed. It was made up by the dude who said all that dumb shit. 2/2
