For your edification, some anagrams of “Kate Harding’s Shapely Prose.” I think there are some perfect options in here, both for fans and for detractors!
Happy, kind, greater assholes.
Poetry and shaglike phrases.
An asshole pig’s perky hatred.
Aged poser hates prankishly.
The spongy airhead sparkles. (This is totally my fave.)
Sphere-like and gross apathy.
Perky hotheads praise slang.
(Generated using Anagram Genius. If you like this sort of thing, buy this book immediately.)
Happy, kind, greater assholes.
SO the next tag line.
I do like that that one recognizes that we’re ALL assholes here. But you gotta love “spongy airhead.” It’s so lyrical.
I actually like “Ahead, skinless typographer!” the best–it’s so full of vim and vigor, and yet is so specifically directed.
Just what I would have expected, coming from someone whose anagram is “Shit! A pleasurable Nazi!”
Oh, I also liked “angry, sheepish sparkle toad.” It’s evocative.
Curses! The download is only available for Windows! Me and my Mac are sad!
And I am with Sweet Machine – “Ahead, skinless typographer!” rocks!
Aw! I will anagram things for you.
[...] the cool kids at Shapely Prose are doing it, I went and anagrammed Hoyden About Town. Some of my favourites, a selection that I [...]
I’ve been having a ball with Hoyden About Town.
You Wanton Hotbed!
Dab Honey Onto Wut??
Hot Bayonet Wound
Boy-Taunt Hoedown
Buoyant Honed Two
Tauten Body? Nohow!
A Donut-Hewn Booty
I thought I liked “hot bayonet wound” best, but then I got to the last two, and they TOTALLY KILLED ME.
LOOOL :-)
I just tried my full name with the free online version – it results to “dinky anal diarrhea”… :o)
Another sad Mac gal here – but I was thrilled when a friend fed my real name into an anagram generator to get…Oi, fat girl!
Oh my god, buffpuff, you win the fucking championship.
My name doesn’t anagram to anything good, but my boyfriend’s works out to Immense Lizard Man. Which I love, but it doesn’t hold a candle to yours.
Buffpuff, you definitely win! :o)
I understand the name “Axl Rose” is an anagram. Oh, guess what for without using the generator.
I’ll have to wait until I get home to try this, I have no talent for anagrams.
Buffpuff totally wins the FA anagrams. That’s amazing!
Meowser, ha, so it is! But it’s also an anagram for “so, relax.” I suppose it would make sense to put those together…
Thanks to Dave Barry, I have never forgotten that “Spiro Agnew” is an anagram for “Grow a penis.” Even before I knew who Spiro Agnew was.
More rock-trivia related anagram fun: The name Blue Oyster Cult is an anagram for Cully Stout Beer, which they were drinking when they were trying to figure out what they should call themselves instead of Soft White Underbelly.
(I heart useless information.)
My geeky unnatural love of anagrams is the main reason I started watching both Doctor Who and Torchwood (and have kept watching because they turned out to be really good shows).
Best anagram I’ve found so far of my full name: “Dare I seek shelter in any muse’s lair?”
Next best one: “Listen ye here – a naked ruler is amiss!”
But my all-time favorite and most accurately descriptive anagram is my husband’s name, “Heavily Odd Smartass”.
I keep meaning to tell The Rotund that my real last name? Actually literally means…The Rotund! In Italian! It is the best fat girl name ever.
The anagram generator rearranges my first and last names into
Radiant Aha Color, which sounds like some good fashion advice I should take, and Raincoat Had Oral, which sounds like either a rap sheet or a pretty excellent weekend.
