Talk:Sunny Baudelaire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In The Carnivorous Carnival, while reading at 3 the morning, I suddenly noticed that not just one, but two of the "nonsense" words that Sunny says, are real words spelled backwards. On page 196, she says "Edasurc," which in the book meant "Maybe someday we can rescue these lions." but spelled forwards, is "crusade", of which one of the valid definitions is "a series of actions advancing a principle or tending toward a particular end," which in this case would be rescuing the lions. There was also a Richard the Lionheart involved in the Crusades.
On page 202, Sunny says "Esoobac," right before Violet says "Remember the train station?", which when spelled forwards, is "caboose," the last car of a train, containing crew quarters, kitchen, and sleeping facilities. As previously known, Sunny is a good cook, sleeper, and quarterer of fruit.
The possibility exists that this pattern shows up elsewhere, but as it really is 3AM, I'm going to cook some ramen, quarter a peach, and sleep. BarGamer 08:03, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
I hadn't noticed that. We could include that in the article, but it will probably be deleted as original research. Maybe we can provide some references for this...--Orthologist 13:56, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
There's also etartsigam from TGG - magistrate spelt backwards. It was used in reference to J.S., probably to hint that J.S. was Justice Strauss. The only problem with some of these references is that they need a little explaining; possibly one could just say that some of her words are existing words spelt in reverse, and then cite a few examples. Ditto the phrases she uses that are foreign or scrambled. 81.132.183.220 13:45, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
