Just so you're clear, I'm the one who created this topic. If you read my original post on page 1, You'll see that I encouraged googling. Kudos to you for coming up with such a great post. The best thing about that word is that it's both the perfect choice by you AND is itself a palindrome. I applaud you, my friend!  :thumbsup:

Before you post on a topic like this, go back to page 1 and check all of the previous posts if you would to see if your palindrome has already been posted, which is has (see below).


as able was I ere I saw Elba

Try again. Three-letter palindromes are fairly common and easy, such as 'did'. There's a new one. your turn!  ;D

Radar

You may want to put in the restriction that the sentence / phrase makes some sense, both grammatically as well as semantically, otherwise I could make a "huge" palindrome by saying "radar radar radar ..."

Here's one that I came up with that sort of fits that restriction:
Dad's radar radars dad

And another good one that I've heard before:
Are we not drawn onward, we few, drawn onward to new era?

Here's a "better" version of the "A man, a plan..." one:
Quote from: Dan Hoey

And here's a palindromic poem that I found amazing:

Quote from: Demetri Martin
"Dammit I'm Mad"

Dammit I’m mad.
Evil is a deed as I live.
God, am I reviled? I rise, my bed on a sun, I melt.
To be not one man emanating is sad. I *bleep*.
Alas, it is so late. Who stops to help?
Man, it is hot. I’m in it. I tell.
I am not a devil. I level “Mad Dog”.
Ah, say burning is, as a deified gulp,
In my halo of a mired rum tin.
I erase many men. Oh, to be man, a sin.
Is evil in a clam? In a trap?
No. It is open. On it I was stuck.
Rats peed on hope. Elsewhere dips a web.
Be still if I fill its ebb.
Ew, a spider… eh?
We sleep. Oh no!
Deep, stark cuts saw it in one position.
Part animal, can I live? Sin is a name.
Both, one… my names are in it.
Murder? I’m a fool.
A hymn I plug, deified as a sign in ruby ash,
A Goddam level I lived at.
On mail let it in. I’m it.
Oh, sit in ample hot spots. Oh wet!
A loss it is alas (sip). I’d assign it a name.
Name not one bottle minus an ode by me:
“Sir, I deliver. I’m a dog”
Evil is a deed as I live.
Dammit I’m mad.

lol...this is funny...i didn't know Aibohphobia was the word for fear of palindromes, but how appropriate! There's a ton I could think of, but if you're really interested in
some good ones, check out the book "Too hot to hoot"....then you'll really appreciate those funky words....cheers!

You've gotta have a couple of beers before you solve the meaning of the following palindromes:  "Dad was I & I saw dad" or "Mom was I & I saw mom"

OK, you really don't need to have a couple of beers, I just thought it might be fun to crack open a bottle or two.  The palindromes dad was I & I saw dad and mom was I & I saw mom are actually quite simple: Just imagine you, as a dad or mom, were gazing into the mirror last night.

Numbers are fun too: if you were born 20 years ago, your birthday is a palindrome: 1991.

Of course the examples I gave are simple in the palindrome world.  According to the English for Students website, the longest palindrome ever written has over 15,000 words: http://www.english-for-students.com/Longest-Palindrome.html

Ready for that beer yet?

Some men interpret nine memos.
Do geese see God?
Never odd or even.
Don't nod.
Ah, Satan sees Natasha.
