I'm not even sure who came up with these terms, but i hear them a lot recetly. They are in our language - Filipino, but only transformed (syllables are switched). WerPa = power and TomGuts = gutom. it can be quite confusing the first time you hear it, but once you figure out how it was formed, i guess it's okay. Does your language have these anagrams too?

@lady1993 I was clueless when I first saw posts on FB. Question marks all over my head.

I'm not fond of those actually. I guess despite of my time in the internet, I wasn't aware of these rising trends. Like all the anagrams, it will be replaced by a new one.

When I was growing up there was something called pig Latin. I never got the hang of it, but it's a lot like what you have there.
