Spiro Agnew anagrams!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

I read yesterday that Dick Cavett pointed out, back in the day, that the Vice President’s name could be anagrammed to “Grow a penis.”

So this morning I fed it into the Internet Anagram Server, and received unexpected riches of humor.

Ape is wrong.
Groan, I spew.
We sip organ.
Sea wig porn.
Owns pig ear.
Ow! Ape grins.
A groin spew.
Pawn orgies.
Sarong wipe.
Grape winos.
Wage prison.
Owing rapes.

I haven’t started a MPSIMS thread in ages, but I felt this was too good not to share.

I doubt that there are any other major political figures who would yield such pungent anagrams…Barack Obama, for instance, doesn’t get much better than “Maraca Kabobs.”

Oh, thanks so much for that. :rolleyes:

4

Grow a penis.

5

I’m surprised this one didn’t show up earlier.

Dave Barry pointed this anagram out ages ago.

6

You get “Arab cab amok” - a clear warning about terrorist car bomb attacks.

George Bush gives you “He bugs Gore.” That apparently refers to the 2000 election.

Trol damn DOJ: phun!

The number of possible anagrams is roughly contingent on two factors. There has to be a couple of E’s, and not many letters of high Scrabble value.

A ball player a few years ago was Javier Vazquez. Good luck. Or Jack Sprat.

John Quincy Adams would be brutal – a J, a Q, and no E’s.

See? Now look what you’ve done. A one-man Denial Of Service.

Feel My Power!

Alternately, I Employ Fewer.

I knew that anagram was possible. I looked at both lists of anagrams but did not see it in the opening sentence. A thousand pardons.

Sing Ma! :cool:

Back in LBJ’s run for office in '64, his supporters made Lyndon Baines Johnson into “no ninny; he’s on the job, lads”.

Those opposed to him made “Ha! Nod on, jobless ninny!”

16

Oddly enough, when I hear the name “Spiro Agnew” pretty much the only thing I know about him other than he was Nixon’s vice president is that his name anagrams to “grow a penis.” I feel like I should know more, but I don’t.

He once had his image on a watch, like Mickey Mouse.

And yet it offers us, “I, Johnny Cam Squad” and "May John can squid?

And old John Trump

In the UK, we used to have Virginia Bottomley who was a Tory MP and cabinet member in the Thatcher and Major governments.

Her name is an anagram of “I’m an evil tory bigot”. :smiley:
