| When I was a kid, I picked up a life long habit (being obsessive
compulsive things like that are "normal" for me. Art Moon (a friend
and classmate of my father's) used to sometimes exchange the first letters of
words. When we were going to bale hay, he would say, "Let's
go hale bay". Of course I picked up on that and
applied it to people and phrases I knew. A partial list of this is below and
has just a few of the "inverted" names and phrases. All you have to
do is switch the first letters of the first and last name. One of my rules is
to omit any of the 2nd letters of the first or last name that don't make a
word. |
