According to Wiki the longest palindromic word in the Oxford English Dictionary is tattarrattat, coined by James Joyce in Ulysses for a knock on the door.
And for your interest, apparently one of the first human conversations was of a similar pattern:
"Madam, I'm Adam".
To which the lady replied, "Eve".
