An emordnilap is a word that when read in the opposite direction doesn't make the same word...like a palindrome, but a different word:

Desserts - Stressed.

Which is a shame. Because Palindrome would be lovelier if it was palindromic.

In other news:

Saipuakivvikaupias is the longest palindromic one word.

Its an Icelandic word which means:

A man who sells caustic soda to the soap industry.

I think.

I have to admit, I was only going for the failed palendrome part with Bolton http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Notlob

But didn't deebeedoobee get the concept spot on? Even doing emordnilapic sentences.

If you want to be confused........................

AUTOLOGY & HETEROLOGY
An autological word is word that describes itself. So short is short. Common isn’t rare. Unhyphenated doesn’t have a hyphen. Polysyllabic has more than one syllable. Pronounceable is perfectly pronounceable. And sesquipedalian is unquestionably sesquipedalian. The opposite is a heterological word. So rare isn’t rare. Long isn’t long (in fact it’s shorter than short). Hyphenated is unhyphenated. Symmetrical is asymmetrical. Monosyllabic is polysyllabic. And there’s nothing at all wrong with misspelled.

Eek worried now, don't kink I am intelligent enough for NFR NFC, might need to find another thread to play in.

Matty that picture is wrong on so many counts.

I have just noticed nearly on the 2000 posts, how on earth did that happen. That means this is my Prince post.

    • Judging by last night at Wembley, Luke Combs should be in the conversation of headliner. The UK is having a moment with country music so I don't think it would be particularly left field either.

    • It feels really busy this year, loads of big groups of youngsters too. Slightly different vibe to previous years I've been. As with Tramlines, they're very chatty during sets and there's a constant stream of them in and out of the crowd... definitely feeling my age 😂   The Quarry stage I think is a lot smaller than previous years - seems similar size to Squid/Leadmill. Some sets have been difficult to get in.   I think I've reached my limit with mid-tier indie guitar bands. There's been quite a few this weekend where I've gone over to see them then walked away after 20 mins. Surprisingly, enjoyed the Fratellis set the most in this genre. Probably getting on for 20 years since I last saw them. Wasn't expecting them to do Yes Sir, I Can Boogie, which was fab!   Hugely enjoyed the Happy Mondays yesterday, and same but different with Radio Free Alice who I saw again on Friday, following Tramlines last weekend. A big run of pop acts today - Scissor Sisters will be fantastic!
