polar opposites

The complete opposite to one another.
- such as the polar points (North and South) are directly opposite each other on the earth's surface and do not meet or overlap at all.
- in chemistry, there is "polarity', which has to do with atomic structure. Water and oil do not mix because water is polar and oil is non-polar.

opposate

Essentially based on the word opposite but really is a made up verb form. Its the action of actually making the opposite.

My friend Kari opposated his or her gender the other day at the clinic.

I need to opposate my stance on Bush and stop supporting mentally challenged individuals as leaders of the free world.

opposites attract

The epitome of people that should not be together but in actuality are. Example: Taryn and Cassandra.

The only reason that they ended up married was because of the old adage opposites attract. They thought they'd give it a go, ignoring their cataclysmic differences.

"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.
