MYNONYM
MYNONYM describes a word or phrase or sequence that can be read forward or backward, for example the well-known phrase "MADAM I'M ADAM" and the name of the South Australian suburb of Adelaide, GLENELG. A word like WOW or MOM or the name of the New South Wales town TUMUT is considered a "mirror" MYNONYM.
I've coined this word because it is itself a MYNONYM.
A numerical MYNONYM would be the time of day, 10.01, 11.11, 12.21 etc, or someone's UK mobile number, for example, 07986 268970
The previous word for this is 'palindrome', which is a synonym for MYNONYM. However, palindrome is not able to be read backward while keeping its meaning, but MYNONYM is.

Napoleon is reputed to have uttered the MYNONYM: "ABLE WAS I ERE I SAW ELBA".
He just didn't know that he'd used a MYNONYM because I had not coined the word until 2020.

grebo
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
