Chiasmus...A B B A

Is this where ABBA got their name from? Mind blown.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Not really, no. ABBA is the first letters of all the band members' names, arranged as a palindrome.

Although, chiasmus is kind of a grammatical palindrome if you squint real hard. So in that sense, kinda.
