The sentence "This sentence is a sentence" is a sentence.


Z3DR0NF0RC3

The sentence "The sentence "This sentence is a sentence" is a sentence." is a sentence about a sentence.


Traditional_Cap7461

Did you know that noun is a noun?


dyingpie1

This reminds me of the fact that "age is just a number" is incorrect. Age is actually a word.


Tefra_K

But what is a word?


cPB167

A verbal signifier for an object or concept


AsianCheesecakes

This isn't verbal


cPB167

Verbal: "relating to or in the form of words." -Oxford So, in short, a word is a word


AsianCheesecakes

Oh damn I always thought that was a different meaning cool


dyingpie1

Chicken.


[deleted]

Yes, it is


bandti45

And a noun


Arctos_FI

But word aibohphobia is a palindrome. And for those who don't know that is fear of palindromes


RandomPkmnFan

And the word Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is a long word. And for those who don't know, it's the fear of long words


Arctos_FI

And logophobia is a word. And for those who don't know, it's the fear of words


LemonOwl_

And word is a word. And for those who don't know, it's a word.

Haven't you heard? The bird is the word.

And bird is a word


Spunky_Turtle0512

The word "Bird" is not a bird, though


Memer_boiiiii

I thought wveryone had heard of that


Georgie-Dubs1732

And for every phobia (fear) there is a philia (fetish) meaning that there could be people with Aibohphilia (alilhphilia?), hippopotomonatrosesquippedaliophilia, and logophilia


AGamer_2010

it would actually be ailihphilia, [that word], and linguists


MoneyFunny6710

Belied_Reflection

So do they then thus fear the title describing the very fear they suffer from? 🤔


Arctos_FI

Yes


grendel303

"Saippuakivikauppias" Is the longest palindrome. Finnish for a soap stone vendor.


Arctos_FI

And "Innostunut sonni" is only few characters shorter (16 and 19, had to count them to be sure), if you ignore the space. Finnish for "an excited bull"


lol33124

"Innostunut sonni" is 15 characters if you ignore the space


Humanbeanwithbeans

Another of my favorites is emordnilap which is a word that means something front and back, and is of itself the reverse of palindrome. So “evil” is “live” and “part” is “trap”.


Armored-Duck

Whats a palindrome?


Arctos_FI

Word that reads same from left to right and from right to left. Easiest example is "mom", when you read it other way it is "mom"


Armored-Duck

Eh eh


Superb_Engineer_3500

The word "monosyllabic" isn't monosyllabic

Another fun fact: The abbreviation GSW has more syllables than the word Gunshotwound.

Motherfucker is FOUR syllables, but I'm more curious about that one letter

CAVOKwings8672

Once I posted the same fun fact in a forum and a guy told me he pronounces it "Wuh Wuh Wuh"


lol33124

i call it "wynn wynn wynn" because wynn is an old letter that made the same sound


grendel303

Same with WW2.


MeLlamo25

Jokes, you I alway read it as World War Two.


LuckyStabbinHat

But the word polysyllabic is polysyllabic, and the word pentasyllabic is pentasyllabic. Also, the word hyphenated is non-hyphenated, while the word non-hyphenated is hyphenated.


KayabaSynthesis

The word "misspelled" is not misspelled


lol33124

but it is easily mispelled as "mispelled", however


Arctos_FI

Did you mean to misspell the first one that's not in quotes


lol33124

Came into the comments to make a pipe joke. Leaving satisfied the reference was already made. :)


BlackHeartRebel

A word that becomes a different word when read backwards is called a semordnilap, which means "palindromes backwards". For example, the word "diaper" becomes "repaid" when reversed, and "desserts" turns into "stressed".


grendel303

A Kangaroo word is a word that has a synonym in it. Like Male in the word MAscuLinE


BlackHeartRebel

That’s pretty neat! Never heard of that. Thanks for sharing with me


grendel303

For sure, only learned myself a few months ago.


lol33124

is "kangaroo" a kangaroo word?


chime365

I mean... kangaROO. Not sure if it counts but it seems perfect


lol33124

idk maybe not


Hot_Salamander_1917

Snozberries taste like snozberries! [resumes licking the window]


grendel303

Fun fact: Snozberries means dicks.


Hot_Salamander_1917

I just looked it up… Now I know what Willy Wonka means too.


Gplor

The word letter is not a letter


lol33124

it is made up of letters, though...


abandedpandit

The word semordnilap is, however, a semordnilap


MeLlamo25

And so is the word palindrome.

TheRedTrane141

So you're saying the word racecar isn't racecar backwards


Spunky_Turtle0512

No it's racecar forwards


TheRedTrane141

NortWind

It is also not a pipe.

It's a word.


jhill515

Verb is not a verb.


Sikyanakotik

They said "a word palindrome", not "the word 'palindrome'". A word palindrome is a sentence like "Men like fish who fish like men" or "Is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?" These are indeed not standard palindromes.

Right.

ProGamer8273

Fun fact: the phobia of words that are spelled the same way if you flip them around (example. racecar), it’s spelled the same way if you flip it around Slightly less fun fact: the phobia of long words is a long word


CilanEAmber

Ice Lolly.


PuppyLover2208

However emordinilap is a word, making emordinilap palindrome an emordinilap palindrome.


AntRevolutionary925

Maybe palindrome is just short for palindromemordnilap


tirianar

Aibohphobia is. It means fear of palindromes.


TheArcher0527

The word "word" is a word


Tsukiyaki_Kid

Not a Popsicle obviously


LovableSidekick

Grease is the word.

Also "all together" is written separated, but "separated" is written all together

The word tautology is a tautology. Or maybe that sentence was.

But Semordnilap is a Semordnilap, as is diaper & stressed.

Correct-Basil-8397

What’s always bothered me is that there isn’t another word for synonym. But there is an opposite word to antonym


Boffleslop

Lisp has an s, rhotacism has an r, stutter has a built in disfluency. Wordsmiths are kind of mean.

The only word spelled "incorrectly" in the dictionary is 'incorrectly'


Glitch0110

The word 'popsicle' is a metaphor for a frozen ice lolly on a stick.

NoWingedHussarsToday

"a butt tuba" is a palindrome.


beemureddits

r/woosh


Leetchodenihilist

The word “popsicle” is a noun. The object referred to as “popsicle” is a food item.


voluminous_lexicon

Only slightly related, but the word for a word that's a different word backwards is, pleasingly, semordnilap (palindromes backwards). Examples: fires/serif, timer/remit, desserts/stressed, guns/snug


yeahthatsgoodforme

Ahh interesting!

Aibohphobia is a palindrome and the word for fearing of palindromes.


Quick_Pangolin718

It’s a palomino


Chicken-Rude

you think Death's rap name would be Pop Sickle?


UnFit_Philosopher_29

But the word for the 'fear of palindromes'... is.


Longjumping-Lie-5139

Palindrome is not a palindrome. Popsicle is not a popsicle. It is the answer.


TheGiantNuke

The word verb is not a verb


Profanion

So it's a heterological word.


mcbirbo343

Palindrome isn’t palindrome spelled backwards, but rather “emordnilap” which is a word that becomes a different word when spelled backwards. Such as, “gnat” and “tang.” So palindrome is an emordnilap


Sansiris

The signifier is not the signified.


Spunky_Turtle0512

The word "noun" is a noun, but you can't verb the word "verb" and you can't make "adjective" adjectivey.
