Backward humor
The Washington Post Style Invitational asked its readers to spell an actual word backward and come up with a definition for the result. Here are some of our faves:
Atnas: The man who bears the weight of the entire American economy on his shoulders. (Tom Witte, Montgomery Village)
.............
Asip: The largest amount of wine you can drink after you're already tilting 6 degrees. (Ira Allen, Bethesda).............
Derf: Someone whose name has become unfashionable. (Fred Dawson, Beltsville).............
Edun: No fig leaves in THIS garden. (Roger Dalrymple, Gettysburg, Pa.).............
Enigami: It's not just a crumpled-up piece of paper -- it's actually a bear, if you take the time to really look at it . . . or maybe it's a dog . . . (Brendan Beary, Great Mills).............
Esebo: A diet pill that doesn't work. (Tom Witte).............
LeMac: A sandwich made in desert outposts of the French Foreign Legion. (Mike Peck, Alexandria)
.............
Megatarts: Target of careful planning when guys go out on the town. (Jeff Brechlin, Eagan, Minn.).............
