It’s said that anagrams can often reveal subtle hidden truths about people, places and even items.

Like these for example:

  • Microsoft Windows = Sown in discomfort
  • The Titanic disaster = Death – it starts in ice
  • Dormitory = Dirty room
  • Evangelist = Evil’s agent
  • Conversation = Voices rant on
  • Astronomer = Moon starer
  • The eyes = They see
  • Christmas = Trims cash
  • The country side = No city dust here
  • Snooze alarms = Alas! No more z’s
  • A Gentleman = Elegant man
  • A shoplifter = Has to pilfer
  • A domesticated animal = Docile, as a man tamed it
  • Mother-in-law = Woman Hitler :)
  • Election results = Lies! Let’s recount
  • Gauteng = Get a gun!

When we start putting people’s names through the old anagram-maker though, things start to get really clever:

  • William Shakespeare = I’ll make a wise phrase
  • George Bush = He bugs Gore
  • Bruce Springsteen = Creep brings tunes
  • Jennifer Aniston = Fine in torn jeans!
  • Princess Diana = End is a car spin (spooky one!)
  • Madonna Louise Ciccone = One cool dance musician
  • Christina Aguilera = Ugly satanic hair :)
  • Elvis = Lives (I knew it!)
  • Justin Timberlake = I’m a jerk. But listen

But, by far the best one that I’ve seen recently (thanks Pam & Penny!) is:

  • Caster Semenya = Yes! A secret man!
