Wasilla wonder? GAH! Live 'n' evil hag, red now all I saw!
It's always warm here, inside the Palindrome, a place where politics and wordplay meet and wish they hadn't.
Time, Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas! Emit!

I've always wondered why the word Palindrome isn't palindromic. |
|
| |
Why? "Onomatapaeia" doesn't sound like the thing it's trying to
describe. |
|
| |
//Why? "Onomatapaeia" doesn't sound like the thing it's trying to describe.// |
|
| |
Yes and no; if you pre-suppose that the word "onomatapoeia" *is* onomatopoeic, then the sound of that word is the sound of a particular instance of onomatopoeia, so that supposition is correct. Equally if you pre-suppose (as you have) that the word "onomatapoeia" is *not* onomatopoeic, then it isn't. |
|
| |
Both suppositions appear to be self-verifying. |
|
| |
So far as I can tell, both are also equally ontologically parsimonious. |

Actually, onomatopœia, so pppfhpfhfpfhpfhpfphfh! |
|
| |
You know that bit in Jurassic Park where the puddles ripple...? |
|
| |
//pppfhpfhfpfhpfhpfphfh// Now, *that* would be an onomatopoeia... if it were a word. |
|
| |
//list// Aren't these annotations too heterogeneous to be a list? Surely the correct MFD is 'pun'. |
|
| |
// Rise to vote sir! // -Jinbish |
|
| |
Shouldn't it be --- !Rise to vote sir! --- to make it a true
palindrome. It would work in Spanish. |
|
| |
And shouldn't---palindrome --- be --- palindromemordnilap ---
to reflect what it actually is. |

I know it's not a palindrome, but it feels right putting it here. |
|

Geez guys, I at least wrote a few palindromes to get the ball rolling. I even posted it under culture: game. :^( |

I can imagine making good ones would be quite difficult. |
|
| |
The thing I like most about palindromes is the wild, yet oddly hesitant punctuation. Single word sentences that end in an exclamation mark? Amusing! |
|
| |
In keeping with //where politics and wordplay meet and wish they hadn't.// : |

Is this a reference to Sarah Palindrome, perchance? A person who makes as much sense talking backwards as she does talking normally? |

You don't like palindromes? |
|
| |
OK, *now* it's a [MFD] list. |

sorry, this isnt a great idea

Palindromes seem ordinary, nil applications. |

//Palindromes seem ordinary, nil applications//
That's almost a haiku. |

A man, a plan, a canal, panama! |

I didn't make that up btw, I read it somewhere. I remember there is a long one about fish but I can't remember how it goes. |
|
| |
I didn't make those up either. Hang on, I'll think of one... |
|
| |
Seem ordinary.
Palindromes sem ord, nil ap
-Nil applications. |

Palindromic haikus anyone? |
