What's the word??

**Ally** · 5th June 2007, 05:52 PM

I am going crazy, thinking of the term. I knew what it was before but I can't remember. When you read a phrase, it says the same thing if you read it forwards and backwards. I can only give names for examples...

Bob
Anna

If you read them forward and backward it's the same.

Racecar is the longest palindrome in the English language.

The only reason I remember is because there was this song in the 80's called I palindrome I by They Might Be Giants

**DiP** · 5th June 2007, 06:14 PM

Wow is my favorite palindrome.

My favorite palindrome:

Byzantine Greeks often inscribed the palindrome "ΝΙΨΟΝΑΝΟΜΗΜΑΤΑΜΗΜΟΝΑΝΟΨΙΝ" on baptismal fonts; in mixed case with modern accents and divided into words this reads "Νίψον ανομήματα μη μόναν όψιν" ("Nipson anomēmata mē monan opsin"), meaning "Wash the sins, not face alone" (ps, ψ, is the single Greek letter psi).
