put this in your pipe and smoke it:

there are two words that, paradoxically, mirror their defintions but by one letter. what are they?

[Maturins_Daughter]

To clarify, do you mean that there are two words that are spelled alike except for one letter...and their definitions are opposite one another?

[alinda]

thats what I am getting?

[Adumbros]

i can't clarify it. in any way. if i do, it'll give the answer dead away.

Not theist and atheist, are they? That's too easy....

[Adumbros]

nope. good guess though.

[Jon]

phonics and ??? hmm...shit. That ain't it!

[Adumbros]

ha not even close.

the suck part with this one is that i can't give even one clue. the answer is so ridiculously apparent as it is that to give a clue would be the same as to tell the answer.

i can, however. clarify. the answer is two words, not just one word. as it is worded.

M_D and alinda, you gals are on the right track, however, look at your own post M_D, and amend the first half of it. the second half is spot-on. but imagine i said the riddle with a singular nature instead of plural. if you can measure what i'm saying, the answer will slap you like Wayne Brady's pimp-hand.

As with most riddles I'm sure it seems ridiculously apparent once you know the anser, but until then you ... *bangs head against wall*

[Adumbros]

no, i mean this one is so ridiculously apparent that you'll be banging your head off the wall once it's guessed.

i guarantee if any of *ahem* Mom's *ahem* people were on this thread, they'd be able to answer it in a heartbeat.

[Brice]

god/good?

devil/evil?

[Adumbros]

:bows to Brice:

indeed.

[Adumbros]

no, i mean this one is so ridiculously apparent that you'll be banging your head off the wall once it's guessed.

i guarantee if any of *ahem* Mom's *ahem* people were on this thread, they'd be able to answer it in a heartbeat.

before anyone accuses me of giving Brice an unfair veiled hint in this regard, look at the title of this thread. not saying anyone would, but just in case.

[Brice]

they wouldn't and I'd have not accepted an unfair hint.

So, I should mark this one solved now, right?

[Adumbros]

indeed.

Oh, I thought you meant there were just two words...I came up with feast/fast.

[Jon]

I came up with "sheep/fuck"

[Brice]

Of course this is the answer you come up with for everything though, Jon.
