The opposite of skeletons in your closet is no skeletons in your closet, not skeletons in the front yard. LOL
Skeletons in your pantry: Your dark cooking experiments when you were drunk, high, or broke
He said “Idiom continuity”. That doesn’t mean they all have to be opposites, he’s just extending the metaphors in whatever direction he fancies.
I haven’t enjoyed any of Nathan Pyles content since I found out he is pro forced birth/anti choice.
Fuck that guy.
What it mean?
Oh, that’s disappointing.
Boo, let’s just steal it and cut his name out!
Me trying to figure out how “towel” is the opposite of “phone”, smh
Opposite of throw in the towel.
I can’t figure out the bag of cats one
If someone ‘lets the cat out of the bag’ they have shared secrets.
If you’ve got a whole bag it means you haven’t let any out
I just realized that going up in flames and going down in flames are both very bad.
Clearly it’s a function of |y|.
One way’s flammable
The other’s inflammable
“going sideways” is also bad. I guess the moral of that idiom is that directions are bad?
I guess “going forwards intact” would be the good version.
“going sideways” is also bad.
“Going forward in flames” is what it should be. You’re in flames, but you’re not going up, down, or sideways (all bad), but just going forward knowing the flames will probably subside.
It’s “go up in flames” right? So the opposite would be “not catch on fire?”
Extinguished forward, but stopped
Go down in water.
Remaining motionless at room temperature.
Consistency?
Edit: Funny though!
I think it’s continuity, like a spectrum. At one end is thin ice, the other is thick ice. etc
Yeah, I think that’s wrong. Since they are discrete and not a continuum. Since there are only two extremes.
If his new relationships were true it would make the opposite idioms consistent with their non-opposite counterparts. Kind of the same concept as a contrapositive proposition, i.e. ‘if A then B’ implies ‘if not A then not B’.
Continuity is consistency across a spectrum.
Yeah, I can buy that. My thought was that there is no spectrum here though. Just two points.
Continuity is the presence of a complete path for current flow.
The jig remains down.
