Thanksgiving Anagrams & Anashams
Sometimes a Wordmonger just wants to have fun. For me, anagrams
fit that bill. In case you don’t know, an anagram is made by
shuffling the letters in a word or collection of words to come up with new
words or phrases.
Below are some Thanksgiving-themed anagrams. Each list includes an item
that looks like an anagram, but is not – a wolf in Gram’s clothing, or perchance
an ana-sham? Search for the bad examples, then check the first comment for the answers.
If you like playing with anagrams & you’d rather not do so in an old
school fashion, check out https://www.wordsmith.org/anagram/, where you can
generate dozens upon dozens more anagrams for each of these examples.

My thanks go out to the designers of the anagram generator at wordsmith.org
Here are the ana-shams:

Good Times: Most dogs go
Family and friends: Marinated fins fly
Turkey and dressing: Dear stinky gardens
Gratitude: Guitar diet
But a syringed drunkfest is real! That's got to be my favorite. Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteThese are difficult. Thanks for making me crazy, Charlie. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Anne & Paul,
ReplyDeleteAnne, I also found "syringed drunkfest" to be particularly humorous. Paul, I hope you enjoyed that little bit of craziness. As for whether these make ME crazy, too late!
I am so bad with anagrams. Mostly because of my right brained, creative spelling. In other words, can't spell. These are very fun. You, obviously are very good at them!
ReplyDelete"Modest go I" should be your motto, Charlie. Then again, you're too modest to have a motto. I smiled when I read, "Gnat King Hive." "Dim stooge" made me reflect on all the good times I had with my sister. We always called each other "stooge." She would have been tickled by this anagram. The one that brought up the most vivid image in my mind was "misted goo." "Raided fanny films" and "dandies' manly riffs" could be quirky story starters. I know many readers who fit "fairylands find me." Thanks for the fun (restaff honk hunt), Charlie (El Chair). ;-)
