Oppo-ganger

An oppo-ganger is a person with the exact OPPOsite appearance. More specifically the word literally means "opposite of a doppelganger". Whereas a doppelganger is a person so similar in appearance and features to another person that they are considerer a double or look-alike. The origin of oppo-ganger was me observing two women, presumably friends, talking to each other, and every attribute of their appearances were so vastly different as to being considered "opposite. They were oppo-gangers of each other.

Used best as a slight or insult to a friend, an appearance-based insult.

While standing with a friend, you point to another person and comment "Hey, that guy over there is your oppo-ganger."

(Description of your friend: short, bald, out of shape, poorly-dressed.)
(Description of the pointed-to man: tall, full head of hair, in-shape, well-dressed.)
