Anagram?
An anagram of a word is the word spelled backwards, right?
The anagram of anagram is margana.
eta: Nope, I'm thinking of palindrome. Obviously I have not had my enieffac.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Not necessarily spelled backwards - just with the letters rearranged.
Although I think a palindrome is usually a phrase - "Madam I'm Adam", "Able Was I Ere I Saw Elba", "A Man, A Plan, A Canal, Panama" and so on.
Note that I didn't even bother to google until after I posted that. Because I am secure enough that I don't care if I look like an idiot. Or something.

I was thinking of the Montey Python sketch. But yeah, in the sketch one of the characters says it doesn't work:
C: Well, I wish to complain. I got on the Bolton train and found myself deposited here in Ipswitch.
A: No, this is Bolton.
C: (to the camera) The pet shop man's brother was lying!!
A: Can't blame British Rail for that.
C: In that case, I shall return to the pet shop!
He does.
C: I understand this IS Bolton.
O: (still with the fake mustache) Yes?
C: You told me it was Ipswitch!
O: ...It was a pun.
C: (pause) A PUN?!?
O: No, no...not a pun...What's that thing that spells the same backwards as forwards?
C: (Long pause) A palindrome...?
O: Yeah, that's it!
C: It's not a palindrome! The palindrome of "Bolton" would be "Notlob"!! It don't work!!
My brain is still not working. Send espresso, a trepanation kit and a funnel....
Is it wrong that my mind boggles at the fact that David Boreanaz is on Broadway?
And woo hoo more MSCL dvd release news!!!! October 30th AND it's affordable.
(BTW, JZ - when I saw that article re: Gothiness - I KNEW Buffistas had to read it.)
Good for DB -- I'm glad he's getting to try, you know, real acting. :-) But seriously, live theatre is a whole different experience for an actor, and one that with his jump directly into TV, he can't have had a whole lot of.
Anagram. At so early in the morning, it just wasn't penetrating into the musty recesses of my brainfolds.
sumi, that's awesome news about the MSCL re-release -- which, with the extras, I now MUST HAVE. Plus, I can actually give people sets as gifts instead of reluctantly, with fear and trembling, lending out my precious generic no-extras set and waiting (sometimes for months) for its return.
Generic set, off to eBay as soon as I've got the new one.
They'll get my lunchbox when they pry it out of my cold, dead hands, though.
