Adding a noun takes 30 seconds but it comes with a big responsibility. Once you add the noun, you own it on www.oppo-site.com.
You must take on board oppo-inions of others before linking to its opposite. If its opposite hasn't been added yet, you must add (and own) that too.

The Science of Opposites
The science of opposites where we aim to explore the opposite of every noun in the English language.
Nouns don't tend to have opposites - words like knife, pen, house, car and phone are somehow more complete when you find their logical partner.
Register and play your part in solving one of language's great mysteries. If we all do 1 noun each, we'll have this finished in no time.
Can nouns have more than one opposite
In short, yes - a noun can have a number of opposites.
Because the function of a noun may be different in multiple contexts (e.g. a mobile phone may be used to make phone calls on the move or to send text messages), it is quite possible to have multiple opposites.
Every effort must be taken to ensure that functional definitions for each context are documented.
