What\u2019s in a name? Not very much, according to Shakespeare. Maybe someone should have taught him about anagrams. Anagrams are words or phrases which are formed by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase. They\u2019re buried in many everyday names and words, in places you often wouldn\u2019t expect. Take God<\/em>, for example, which anagrams to dog<\/em>; flow<\/em>, which anagrams to wolf<\/em>; or cinema<\/em>, which can be rearranged to spell iceman<\/em>. As you might expect, there are lots of inadvertently funny anagrams, too. Below are our seven favorite hilarious anagrams, rounded up for your enjoyment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Vacation time = I am not active.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<\/p>\n

    via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

    Look: when’s the last time you exercised on vacation? Outside of the hike to the breakfast buffet. It\u2019s a mystery why hotels bother to build such nice gyms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Tom Cruise = So, I\u2019m cuter.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<\/p>\n

      via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

      If you remember Tom Cruise from his glory days in the nineties, you might remember him as the epitome of attractiveness amongst male actors. But if that was before your time, Tom Cruise to you might mean Scientology and vigorous action-movie stunts — like the kind which led him to snap his ankle during a Mission Impossible scene<\/a>. Not exactly sexy. Regardless, the anagram works: either he’s cuter, or you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. The Morse Code = Here come dots<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<\/p>\n

        via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

        It was so nice of the Morse Code creators to leave a cheat sheet embedded right in its name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Astronomer = Moon starer<\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Shocking, right? Turns out astronomers do exactly what their job title secretly says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Snooze Alarm = Alas! No More Z\u2019s<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<\/p>\n

            via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

            Every morning, when I choose not to hit the snooze button, it is a travesty of epic proportions. Alas <\/em>is correct! If only the world included more \u2018Z\u2019s.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Dormitory = Dirty Room<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<\/p>\n

              via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

              Look, I spent two years in a dorm room at college. And I don\u2019t think I swept once. Well, maybe once. But certainly not twice. It\u2019s part of the experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. Presbyterians = Best in Prayers = Britney Spears.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<\/p>\n

                via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

                If I asked my Presbyterian grandmother who she thought was the best in prayers, she probably would not say Britney Spears. But hey, things have been looking up for Spears lately<\/a>: maybe she’s got someone looking out from her on high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
