Palindromes 2

[ESquared]

Would anyone like to collaborate with me on inventing a palindromic phrase generator?

In the meantime, this thread is for telling us about palindromic phrases you personally have invented. (Use of software is permitted.) To relate palindromes you've heard elsewhere or find on the web, start a new thread in Making An Impression.

The best palindromic phrases, of course, are grammatically correct and have some sort of sense.

may yam
it is bad, isn't it?

 

[ESquared]

I suppose, if one is talking about a yam harvested in May, it would be fine. Are there definite growing seasons for yams?

I wrote a little code to help me come up with a good one, but the code is all I've come up with - you might have better luck

<script>
	function palindrome(){
		txtVal = document.getElementById("e").value
		txtSt = ""
		txtEnd = ""
		for (x=0; x<txtVal.length; x++){
			ltr = txtVal.substr(x,1)
			txtSt += ltr
			if (x+1 == txtVal.length){
				if (!document.getElementById("odd").checked) txtEnd = ltr + txtEnd
			}
			else{
				txtEnd = ltr + txtEnd
			}
		}
		document.getElementById("results").value = txtSt + "|" + txtEnd
	}
</script>

<input type=checkbox id="odd" onClick="palindrome()">Check to use middle letter only once.<br>
<input id="e" onkeyup="palindrome()" width=100><br>
<textarea id="results"></textarea>

mwolf00,

Nice work, but I think you're missing part of the challenge:

The best palindromic phrases, of course, are grammatically correct and [make] some sort of sense

"Won panda, alas salad nap now" doesn't make any sense!

This thread is for telling us about palindromic phrases you personally have invented.

Palindromes are fun, no argument there. But the challenge is to invent new ones! As language lovers we enjoy reading common palindromes. But as wordplay lovers we enjoy making them up.

Like I did, didn't I?
I am still looking for Yam Harvest Season though. It seems to be August but then people can say that May Yam is not yammy...lol

 

[ESquared]

Yes, like you did! A star for ZoomerZ for following the game well.

Is it only mirrored palindromes that count, or do word-unit palindromes get the nod here as well?

[ESquared]

I don't think it would be much of a palindrome if it could only be reversed a word at a time, instead of a letter at a time. Unless I'm misunderstanding your meaning.
