Aibohphobia

[car]

I was pleasantly surprised during the week to read that the word aibohphobia is, get this, the fear of palindromes.

I havent read such an interesting fact since finding out that the word "gullible" isnt in the dictionary.

I just know there is a joke in there........just give me a minute.

I think I have AIB oh phobia. It's raising my blood pressure and affecting my sleep.

And you believed the source? How gullible can you be?

Would it be the same as Gaeilge ?

Would it be the same as Gaeilge ?

No, Gaeilge is not a palindrome.

 

[Caveat]

Does anyone know another word for thesaurus?

No, Gaeilge is not a palindrome.

Are there any Irish palindromes ?

 

[LDFerguson]

Are there any Irish palindromes ?

I wonder would they be pailíndrómaí?
