Odorants
Nov

2012
Deodorants are well named. Their names evoke connotations that relate well to their purpose and sway you to buy them (or at least think favorably of them). I thought I would invert their names and see what happened.
We’ll start with an easy one:
Speed Stick
versus
Right Guard
Now, many people would think the opposite of Right Guard is Wrong Guard
but it’s not. Nor is it left guard
Rather, if you know your football Xs and Os, you know that the opposite of right guard
is left tackle.
Old Spice
Many people might also think the opposite of Old Spice is New Spice
But that’s not opposite-y enough. What is really opposite is
Ban
versus
Degree
versus
or was that not the meaning of “degree” they meant?
How about this?
No? I give up, then.
Sure
versus
But that was too easy.
How about this?
Arrid
versus
Although, now that I’m looking at it again, I think I should have made it as “Verrdant” instead of “Verdant”.
Any other good odorants out there?
Dead flies make a perfumer’s oil stink, so a little foolishness is weightier than wisdom and honor.
