The following puzzles were inspired by the old joke that asks, "If 'pro' is the opposite of 'con', what is the opposite of 'progress'?". For each clue, figure out the pairs of "opposite" words, that are not actually opposites, but do contain words (as sub-strings) that are opposites.
1. Find a bird that is the "opposite" of a rifle.
2. Find a glass that is the "opposite" of a reprimand.
3. Find a pipe that is the "opposite" of a whirl.
4. Find a darling that is the "opposite" of mature.
Can you find other word pairs that are not actually opposites, but contain words that are opposites?
