Off the top of my head, I remember a palindrome is a word that's spelled the same way when it's seen backwards. Like the word "level".

Hint: these are not household objects you find in the kitchen!

What is a) an anachronism b) a spoonerism c) a palindrome?

A Spoonerism is a speech error in which a person switches the first letters of two consecutive words, e.g. "belly jeans" instead of "jelly beans". 

An anachronism is an error in chronology and a spoonerism is a a reversal of syllables in a word. Palindrome has already been correctly answered.

Well, not all people know the meaning of these words in their mother tongues. And why are you asking?
