My theme for the Blogging from A to Z Challenge is contronyms. A contronym is a word with two or more opposite meanings, making it its own antonym. Click here to find out more about these quirky words.
After having so few options yesterday, I was happy to find plenty of F contronyms to choose from for today. I’ve decided to feature fast because I wish I could move fast but am mostly stuck fast to the couch.
Fast – able to move quickly, swift
~ or ~
Fast – not easily moved, firmly fixed in place
How about a picture montage to illustrate the opposing meanings of fast?
These cuties are running extremely fast:
But these cuties are stuck fast in the mud:
This car makes your eyes water because it’s so fast:
But this car is going nowhere fast because it’s trapped fast in the snow:
This kid is making a fast getaway:
While this kid is held fast in her mother’s arms:
Are you familiar with contronyms? There are other ‘F’ contronyms out there, can you think of any? How Fabulous is Freya with her letter F?
