How well do you know Skype slogans?

By My status Villu Arak on March 7, 2008 in Life at Skype.

Before you read on, let me remind you that it’s Friday. The fifth day of the week. The day some people like to thank God or goodness for. In other words, Friday.

One of Skype’s enduring values has been the ability to not take ourselves too seriously. The method today: mutilation by anagramming. The victims: three Skype slogans/taglines. Two of them are officially retired while one keeps showing up for work.

So, without further obfuscation, let’s see if you can return these to their original form:

  • Just throw freak in potent ethylene, rest
  • Ear of well-clothed freak thrown
  • The bat-eared peak

Perhaps anagramming them will be easier if you’re a fan of bad horror films. Just a thought. Good luck!
