My current favourite two-word anagram phrases:

1. Daemonic comedian.
2. Remote meteor.
3. Supersonic percussion.
4. Persistent prettiness.
5. Aristotelian retaliations.

7. Soapstone teaspoons.

Yours?

Yes, that's probably why I can spot them!

I remember! English shingle is a good one (and I've just noticed that it's an aelindrome in 1312).

Those are all great.
