The opposite of skeletons in your closet is no skeletons in your closet, not skeletons in the front yard. LOL
25He said "Idiom continuity". That doesn't mean they all have to be opposites, he's just extending the metaphors in whatever direction he fancies.

I just realized that going up in flames and going down in flames are both very bad.
24One way's flammable
The other's inflammable

"going sideways" is also bad. I guess the moral of that idiom is that directions are bad?
I guess "going forwards intact" would be the good version.
15It's "go up in flames" right? So the opposite would be "not catch on fire?"
3Extinguished forward, but stopped
2Go down in water.

"going sideways" is also bad.
“Going forward in flames” is what it should be. You’re in flames, but you’re not going up, down, or sideways (all bad), but just going forward knowing the flames will probably subside.

I can't figure out the bag of cats one
12If someone 'lets the cat out of the bag' they have shared secrets.
26If you've got a whole bag it means you haven't let any out

I haven’t enjoyed any of Nathan Pyles content since I found out he is pro forced birth/anti choice.
Fuck that guy.
9Boo, let’s just steal it and cut his name out!
8Oh, that's disappointing.

“Up shit creek with a paddle” - you’re in trouble, but you’ve got the means to get through it (tho it will stink)
8The jig remains down.
7Me trying to figure out how "towel" is the opposite of "phone", smh
2Opposite of throw in the towel.

Shouldn't sideways in flames be more like sideways intact?
1Consistency?
Edit: Funny though!
0Continuity is consistency across a spectrum.
7Yeah, I can buy that. My thought was that there is no spectrum here though. Just two points.

I think it's continuity, like a spectrum. At one end is thin ice, the other is thick ice. etc
2Yeah, I think that's wrong. Since they are discrete and not a continuum. Since there are only two extremes.
If his new relationships were true it would make the opposite idioms consistent with their non-opposite counterparts. Kind of the same concept as a contrapositive proposition, i.e. 'if A then B' implies 'if not A then not B'.
