Anacrograms 2: Acronyms; Singles; Phrases

Abstract

Anacrograms, introduced in May, are anagrams of acrostics of text. Here are numerous examples from common idioms and saying. (Part 3 will be from quotations.) I occasionally cheated by modifying the wording slightly, obviously or unobtrusively. The most interesting anacrograms logologically are spelled without rearrangement. I call these acronyms. They are anacrograms in the sense that charades and half-palindromes are anagrams.
