Favorite Answer
Okay, let’s think this through…
A cafeteria is a large eatery where you pick up your own food. What would be the opposite of that? A bistro, perhaps? A bistro is a small restaurant with table service.
Economy — well, car manufacturers and rental companies have economy class cars at one end of the spectrum and luxury class cars at the other end. Hence, luxury would be the opposite of economy.
Now one could have a lot of fun playing around with facilities. Normally “facilities” is a nice word for “bathroom/rest room/washroom.” But it could also mean something that is done easily. By the latter definition, the opposite of facility/facilities would be difficulty/difficulties. You could try to figure out what the opposite of bathroom would be, but you’d be on your own. 😉
Icicle … hmmm, icicles are cold, pointy frozen water. Boiling water could be the opposite of that. Boiling water is (a) not frozen; and (b) flat (except for the bubbles), not pointy!
Desert air might also be the opposite of an icicle — it contains little or no water and is hot, not cold.
Good luck thinking up more opposites, if you can. Just do what I did and determine what all possible meanings are for the original word – then figure out what is the exact opposite of each of those meanings.
Thanks for the fun! ;-D
