Anagrams

WOW 51 - Anagrams

It's a long time since we have seen some topics regarding the English language. Today I'll be talking about Anagrams. 

An anagram is a type of word play, the result of rearranging the letters of a word or phrase to produce a new word or phrase, using all the original letters exactly once; e.g., orchestra = carthorse, A decimal point = I'm a dot in place. Someone who creates anagrams is called an anagrammatist. The original word or phrase is known as the subject of the anagram.

A few popular ones include:

Dormitory: Dirty Room

Schoolmaster: The classroom

The Country Side: No City Dust Here

Desperation: A Rope Ends It

The Morse Code: Here Come Dots

Conversation: Voices Rant On

Mother-in-law: Woman Hitler

Eleven plus two: Twelve plus one

Princess Diana: End is a car spin

George Bush: Shoe Bugger

I have come up with a few with my own name too: "Danish Thomas"

Had Smash into

Had Main Hosts

Admonish Hats

Hosts Mind, Aha!

No Asthma Dish
