Did you know that your name has an opposite? I spent many hours of my childhood in a car on long road trips, so a lot of that time was spent making up games. One that I still remember, is trying to find the opposite of names. Why? I do not know. Here's how you play:
Take your name or the name of a celebrity, break it down into syllables and find the opposite word for each of the syllables, put it together and you have the opposite of a name. Are you still here? Ok, cool. I'll show you what I mean...Here's the opposite of my name, Jon Friedman:
- Jon. A "Jon" or "John" is a bathroom. What is the opposite of a bathroom? A dining room. The opposite of my first name is "Dining Room."
- Now my last name. Friedman. Fried. The opposite of "fried" is "steamed."
- Man. The opposite of "man" is "woman."
- The opposite of my last name is "Steamed Woman."
- Making the opposite of my name "Diningroom Steamed-Woman."
See more after the jump...
