{{fancy2|text=<br />
An [[Irish]] crittur very like a postcard, except that where you write on one side of a postcard and address the other, you address one side of a poctsarcd and write on the other. It originated as a [[typo]] (in a letter from [[Leeh]] to [[Walt Willis]]), like other such useful expressions as [[silp]] and [[filk song]]. There are variants like pitcuer poctsarcds, too. <br />
