Words !!!

Hey Folks,

You've heard of "A man a plan a canal Panama" !!! If not, read it backwards; here you go:

!!!"amanaPlanacanalpanamA"

Words are funny and fun.

Here's one way to rearrange the letters of "Rush Limbaugh!!!!!":

"sh!!! humbug LiaR!!"

I've also come across a couple interesting word "accidents" related to religion (look them up in your own dictionaries if you have any doubts):

1. "Fundament"!! - This obviously is the root of "fundamentalist," that group of idiots - regardless of their orientation (Christian, Jew, Moslem, Hindu, etc.) - who want to wipe out (or at least convert) any and every person who doesn't share their personal view of the supernatural.

Here's how my Webster's Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary defines "fundament":

"1 a obs: the base on which a structure is erected. 2 a: BUTTOCKS b: ANUS"

There you have it!! On the one hand, fundamentalists are asses; and on the other, their "erections" are associated with buttockses and anuses!

Now check out the meaning of "cretin"! Again, according to my Webster's Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary a "cretin" is:

"Christian, human being, kind of idiot found in the Alps"

Must be a reference to "Fundamentalist" Christians.

Life is strange, and isn't it amazing how our language reflects that strangeness!!!

Hi Tom,
Enjoyed your words blog but couldn't find out about the beauty queen. Since I'm not up on such things, should I have recognized her or understood the connection? Is she from Panama? Sondra

Hey Sondra!! I was searching for a Panama Canal picture and none came up. Then I searched "Panama" and the map appeared and another option was the picture of "Miss Panama."

That's all it said. For all I know, she could be "Miss Panama" of Panama, Indiana!!
