Rats live on no evil star. – A palindrome
Today’s Wonderful Word: “borborygmi”
Definition: rumbling or gurgling sounds caused by the movement of gas in the intestines.
A palindrome is a word, phrase, or sequence that reads the same backwards as forwards, such as [wow].
Spaces and punctuation don’t usually count. Thus, [lion oil] is a palindrome.
My favorite palindrome: [A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!]
A palindrome story: If life gives you lemons, make lemonade. If life gives you melons, you may be dyslexic. Life may give you lemons or melons, but palindromes give you [no lemon, no melon]. Long story short, palindromes are [never odd or even].
Woo Young-Woo, an extraordinary attorney, has a palindrome of a name in Korean. She informs those she meets that her name is the same forwards and backwards. Each time she meets someone new, she provides examples of palindromes in Korean which Netflix translators decided to replace with kayak, deed, rotator, noon, and racecar for the English subtitles. People often spell my wife’s name backwards, but it’s okay because it’s a palindrome as well.
Another palindrome story:
Me: “Yo, banana boy! Is that an evil olive?”
Banana boy: “I don’t think so. Was it a cat I saw?”
Me: “Indeed. Step on no pets. Poor Dan is in a droop because he stepped on a pet.”
BB: “I once stepped on an oozy rat in a sanitary zoo. I ran to the nearest zoo employee and panicked. I screamed, ‘Madam, I’m Adam.’ The employee responded, ‘Hello sir. My name is Eva. Please calm down.’”
Me: “What did you do next? Whatever you did, I hope you didn’t nod. Don’t nod.”
BB: “I didn’t. I said, ‘Eva, can I see bees in a cave?’ She said, ‘That depends. Did Hannah see bees? Hannah did. In that case, you can.’”
Me: “Ah. Satan sees Natasha.”
BB: “That’s exactly what I said, too!”
Me: “I always say that from the top spot in my gym. Let’s go to the gym together sometime, Banana Boy.”
BB: “The last time I went to the gym, able was I, ere I saw Elba, an old friend from grade school.”
Me: “When I was at the gym last, I saw an old friend named Otis. I told him, ‘Sit on a potato pan, Otis.’ He didn’t understand.”
BB: “Yeah, whatever. Anyway. We should have a cigar after working out. Borrow or rob?”
Me: “Cigar? Toss it in a can. It is so tragic.”
BB: “True.”
