http://www.drmardy.com/chiasmus/definition.shtml

chiasmus |kīˈazməs|noun:  a rhetorical or literary figure in which words, grammatical constructions, or concepts are repeated in reverse order, in the same or a modified form; e.g., "Poetry is the record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds." DERIVATIVES: chiastic |kīˈastik|adjective. ORIGIN: mid-17th century (in the general sense "crosswise arrangement"): modern Latin, from Greek khiasmos "crosswise arrangement," from khiazein "mark with the letter chi," from khi "chi."
===================================
Also see "verlan": French wordplay reverses syllables, so pigeon becomes geonpi, etc.

Pacifica's Most Amazing Holiday Sound-and-Light Show

 

This 2011 video (above) shows the brilliant sound-and-light show at the corner of Cape Breton and Rainier in Park Pacifica. In 2012 it was even better, including a Giants-themed version of Queen's We Are the Champions of the World. Motorists could tune their car radios to 90.1 FM and watch the lights sync to the music.
