I ran into the first one on this list earlier this week while reading a novel and couldn't get it out of my head. So I started thinking about other words that contain other words that, at first glance, are completely shocking, at least to me. There are certainly more words within these words but I just thought this would be a good idea for a topic. Anyone have more to share?


nicest - INCEST

pear - RAPE

skill - KILL

truth - HURT

daisy - SAD

therapist - THE RAPIST

isle - LIE

drummer - MURDER

merchandise - CRIME

heat - HATE

trust - RUST

Miami - MAIM


*******

And another one that has a message I hadn't noticed before.

apathy - A PAY PATH

Eleanore - The "Truth" one put a smile on my face. As they say "Truth Hurts" I think we now know where that saying originated from.

How odd that Daisy should contain the word Sad, when in fact a daisy makes many people GLAD ... again, Linda's glad/sad rhyming.

The first that comes to my mind as a total shocker is a one that's commonly known and that's Santa = SATAN

Smile - MILE/S (they say a smile can go on for miles ... their contagious just like the flu ya know?)


Crayon - CRY

Invoice - Novice

Mountain - TUNA

Clover - LOVER

Television - VIOLENT

Astrology - TOOLS, SOLAR TOOLS

Working - WRONG

Believe - LIE

Professional - POISON/ER

Manger - ANGER or RAGE

Cruise - CURSE

^ made me think of the Titanic ... So i looked at "Titanic's Cruise" to find TITANIC IS CURSE

Also not ONE word but a small lexi of sorts...

Flight - IT IS GIFT (some believe that flight was gifted to us, or the technology used at least, by ET's)

I just noticed last night while doing my Taxes that Taxes is an anagram of TEXAS (viea-versa)

Budweiser - BREWED WEEDS

Grandmother - MOTHER EARTH

I was just remembering how in Elementary School when being taught how to spell the word "together" that the teacher separated it for ease of memorization. To-Get-Her ... to this day when I spell together, I break it apart, out loud or in my mind ... to-get-her.

Together = TO GET HER

Nice! Thanks, ladies!

Wow, LEXX. Nicest insect is incest. That's just creepy.

And HEART has always interested me, too. So many seemingly disparate words and yet I'm sure it holds many messages. Things aren't always what they seem, either way, and like that.


*******

Hi, angel_of_hope! Mountain Tuna is one I've been pondering on and off for a while. Pretty strange. Manager also has Manger ... unsurprisingly. Texas/Taxes and Budweiser/Brewed Weeds are just hilarious! And I almost got weepy on Grandmother/Mother Earth. I also always think of it as to-get-her, lol.

*******

A few more surprising ones that caught up with me today:

untitled - UNITED
spending - PENDING SIN
mortgage - AGE RAGE
snug- GUNS
melodrama - AROMA
regional - RELIGION IN ONE AREA ... LEGION
Mary - RAM ARMY
giant - ANT
antonym - MANY
lemon - MELON
rape - REAP
enormous - MOUSE
elephant - PENT


A few not so surprising, too:

please - EASE
crescendo - NO END
aparthied - HIDE APART

I have always been horrified by THE RAPIST (therapist) and SATAN (Santa)!
