Nothing shows the English language for the messed up beauty it is than anagrams. Just by popping letters in a different order, we can come up with some superb alternative definitions for words which truly highlight the versatility of the language. Thank you to my lovely mum for sending me these:

•  DORMITORY: DIRTY ROOM
• PRESBYTERIAN: BEST IN PRAYER
• ASTRONOMER: MOON STARER
• DESPERATION: A ROPE ENDS IT
• THE EYES: THEY SEE
• GEORGE BUSH: HE BUGS GORE
• THE MORSE CODE: HERE COME DOTS
• SLOT MACHINES: CASH LOST IN ME
• ANIMOSITY: IS NO AMITY
• ELECTION RESULTS: LIES – LET’S RECOUNT
• SNOOZE ALARMS: ALAS! NO MORE Z ‘S
• A DECIMAL POINT: I’M A DOT IN PLACE
• THE EARTHQUAKES: THAT QUEER SHAKE
• ELEVEN PLUS TWO: TWELVE PLUS ONE
• MOTHER-IN-LAW: WOMAN HITLER.

I’d just like to add that my mother-in-law bears no resemblance to Hitler. I may be unique, in this respect…
