Comment on Are there words in reverse order between two languages using the Latin Alphabet?

True, but I think that one's a bit different, because 輩先 (usually written in katakana as パイセン) is a humorous slang term based off 先輩.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen パイセン written at all, come to think of it. It is slang, that much is true.
