  1. same is the opposite of opposite
     
  2. "Matching"
    "Not Opposite"
    "Similar"
    "Equivalent"
    "Corresponding"
    "Compatible"
    Of course "same" was already said.

    ? Just an educated guess...
     
  3. an infinite loop
     
  4. ^^^ This
     
  5. according to the thesaurus:

    Antonyms: \tcompatible, like, similar (adjective)
    Antonyms: \tlikeness, same, similarity (noun)
     
  6. Since the answers have been made clear, I'll hijack the thread: what is the opposite of mediocre?
     

  7. spectacular, extraordinary
     
  8. ercoidem
     
  9. i believe identical is the word you're looking for :)
     
  10. whats the opposite of orange?
     
  11. I would say apple, unless you mean the color
     
  12. whats the opposite of YOU?
     
  13. "you" as in ME, or "You as in YOURSELF (magicalbrownies to be specific)

    haha u trippy fucker u :smoking:
     
  14. Well, apple and oranges are both fruit, and are nearly the same color. Would the opposite of an orange be a square vegetable that grows on the ground, of the opposite color of orange?
     
  15. if you want to be literal yea, but in language people say "thats like comparing apples and oranges", so referring to that context, apples are the opposite.

    and if you can find me a square fruit, i'll give you 10grams of sour D
