Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to anagrams!

This community is intended for those of us who love to take apart the words and phrases we use in everyday life... literally. Often, anagrams can be used to reveal new, unforeseen subtexts in things we take for granted. For example, the phrase:

Dreamwidth Studios, LLC

can be rearranged to reveal why DW was created:

Crowd due mild tit slash!

One tool that can be used to find anagrams if you're stuck is The Internet Anagram Server, although it can be a bit limited. If you use Windows, another possibility is Anagram Genius, which is shareware but offers more possibilities, and a better sorting system, than the Internet Anagram Server does. Sometimes the best anagrammer is your own brain, if you can do it.

However you make your anagrams, we want to see them. Let rip!

It was commented on IRC that some of the incidents that led to the formation of DW were more about cock slash than tit slash — but there's no way to get “cock” out of those letters. And I was thinking, well, the lack of “k” also leaves out “dick”[*], and there's no “g” for “dong” or “wang”, and no “n” or “p” for “penis” itself… but there is a “dildo”, and that may be the closest can get. (Well, and maybe euphemisms like “rod” that need too much context to work.)

A bunch of shoving letters around in nvi later, and I finally got all the leftover consonants to fit in; apparently this is also a direct dildo smut shawl. (Which also gets the textile arts in, not that I was actually trying for that.) Someone who's better at this might be able to get something a little more grammarful.

Edit: Aha! The creation of DW was because ads' cut slew dildo mirth. Suddenly it all makes sense.

(Hopefully I haven't made the comm *too* NSFW with this.)


[*] Typoed as “disk”, argh. Better that than the other way, I guess?

Meanwhile, the helpfully-named an has led me to the realization that The NetBSD Foundation is a defiant nuns' tooth bed.

Edit: Also a hotbed of tainted nuns, which is much more like actual English. The thing about an, or probably really about the dictionary it's being fed, is that the minimum word size typically has to be cranked up to at least 3 to keep down the reams of junk, and that leaves out a lot of prepositions and articles and such.

"Dreamwidth agagrams" are "what grandmas admire".

[thedivinegoat]

"Denise and Mark" are "Naked in Dreams"
