@limegreenc,

I've noticed that your replies in this thread seem to comprise mostly opposites, in some way or another, to the preceding posts. You don't have to constrain yourself to opposites. To the contrary, word disassociation was described in the opening post as being words least associated with each other (which usually precludes opposites in any way):

Rather than chariot-wheelbarrow, tightrope-a human hair, or even dog-cat, disassociation would be more like chariot-a human hair, tightrope-wheelbarrow, or dog-volcano! Some of the others' word disassociations must have seemed odd to you if you hadn't read the opening post before.

ETA: You can always start an opposites thread if that's what tickles your fancy.
