What is the opposite of ....

gormless?

Gormfull? Gormed? Gormy?


Does it even have an opposite that still uses the same root word?



What other words do you know that also do not have an opposite meaning?

[madelaine]

It's a wonderful word isn't it? And English is a wonderful language.

I can't think of a word to fit your question right now but I'll be back.

Just found this poem:


Called A Very Descript Man, it is attributed to a J. H. Parker.


I am such a dolent man,
I eptly work each day;
My acts are all becilic,
I've just ane things to say.

My nerves are strung, my hair is kempt,
I'm gusting and I'm span:
I look with dain on everyone
And am a pudent man.

I travel cognito and make
A delible impression:
I overcome a slight chalance,
With gruntled self-possesion.

My, dignation would be great
If I should digent be:
I trust my vagance will bring
An astrous life for me.

Well researched Cheaver! I thought I'd heard them all, but this is a gem! Thank you!

[madelaine]

Brilliant! I shall stop thinking having been totally outclassed by Cheaver!

[pamelajonesart]

Well done Cheaver. Have a happy Easter everyone!

Thanks for that.
I do enjoy cleverly written pieces.

My brain doesn't always work like other brains, humour seems to spring up first in the main, so my immediate thought after reading the heading was ...
opposite of 'dipstick' as in 'Did you see that dipstick on tv last night?'

So, now i've got that out of the way, how about the opposite of opposite?
