Wayhigh. Roombed. Tieneck. Fishshell. Ballbase. Brainedhare. Smithlock. Marketsuper. Marenight.

What are some other compound words in the English language that when the order of their two parts is reversed, the result is nonsensical, odd, weird, funny, off base or just plain silly?

      Roombed is already listed, and the question clearly asked for  “other” words that fit the bill.

    In some ways to me, the other correct way for these words makes as little sense as these words.
