Consecutive palindromic triads.


Each of the twenty five examples below is a familiar word, phrase, or name from which a pair of consecutive palindromic pal·in·dro·mic
adj.
Relapsing; recurring.
 triads have been removed. The remaining letters are then run together. For example, d a t would result from d a t A B A S E S when the underlined pair of consecutive palindromic triads is removed, while both r E S E E D E d and r E D E E M E d would leave r d after a similar excision. Using each of the fifty members in the accompanying triad pool once and only once, how many of the twenty five can you reconstruct?
