When I was at school in the dim and distant past we had a variation of 
backslang where we put the 1st letter at the back and then added 'ar' to 
make the word pronounceable, thus:
ackbar langsar siar hetar anguagelar hattar ewar seduar uringdar choolsar 
ourshar.

This was about the same time that I heard "Serutan Yob" by, I think, The 
Unnatural Seven.

I've not only seen a few yobs in my time, but also a few lrigs.

Cheers
