The same in argentinean Spanish. “Pelado” (bald) becomes “dolape”. What region are you from? I think I’ve heard something similar from Milanesi, but I’m not sure.

This, at least in rioplatense spanish is called "vesre", which is itself the vesre of "(al) revés", which in turn means " backwards".

Correct, I'm from Milan and riocontra is used almost exclusively in Milan. We have the same "pelato" -> "topela" correspondence by the way!
