"r" opposites

Pairs of words that have a meaning which is "one-hundred-eighty degrees" different from each other when the letter "r" is added, such as "fiend" and "friend", "gem" and "germ", etc.

Perhaps the "r" opposites might have had a role to play in the infamous "cell phone static" call that got the totally-honorable-and-conscientious Enron officials in trouble --- you will notice that the moral-minded, "Ship the documents to the Feds" has no "r" letters in it, whereas the supposedly-uttered criminal statement, "Rip the documents to shreds" does indeed contain that letter a couple times, and has the exact opposite meaning.

FaceTune opposition

when editing group pictures with FaceTune making yourself look more attractive and everyone else look less attractive is called FaceTune opposition.

Did you see the picture she posted? She made herself look tan and thin, and me look fatter and white. She totally pulled a FaceTune opposition!
