opportunity cost

The value of resources and time given up relative to the best alternative. Includes the estimation of time in process. If a economy is competitive, the opportunity cost is a good indicator of the price because any change in prices is a change in the opportunity cost, which means a change in the allocation of resources.

The opportunity cost of 9/11 was huge! Lives were lost, capital was destroyed, people got sick......so when 9/11 happened there was a change in the market prices which changed the allocation of resources.

Development Opportunity

Basically a shit sandwich served up at your work by a senior manager, who calls it a 'development opportunity' to relieve their conscience as they should be performing this task themselves.

Manager - "I have a development opportunity for you, could you please do (insert mundane task here)?"
You - "Fuck!"

opposites attract

Like a magnet, polar opposites attract.

Differences and opposites pull, attract and draw together while samenesses and similarities push away or repel from each other

So opposite people fit together and identical people don't mesh together, according to the expression.

Guy: You two are nothing alike. I don't know what you see in him.
Girl: Opposites attract.
Guy: If that were true then rich dudes would like gold diggers
Girl: Who said they didn't? Other girls?

Opposite Day

A fake holiday where you do exactly the opposite of everything.

Obviously is wrong in itself, because if everything is opposite, than opposite day cannot exist. And no, it can't go the other way, obviously, since there is no opposite day.

Try this logic with 4th graders.

4th Grader: IT'S OPPOSITE DAAAYZORZ!!
Smart Person: If it's opposite day, than that means it's NOT opposite day, dumbass.
4th Grader: OMG WTF YOU MEEN NERRRD! HAHAIDIOT.
