“Bad” in the sense that nobody says them. They still meet the definition of palindrome; the letters are in the same order both forwards and backwards.

I like What Adam first said to Eve: “madam, I’m adam.” Note that it’s the order of the letters; spaces don’t count.

Got a palindrome that you like?
