Opposite !

Actually, opposite and the same would be graded antonyms, not opposites! graded antonyms express the relationships of two words along a continuum...such as good and bad. These are opposites, but just because a thing is not good doesn't necessarily mean it is bad...there are items in between on the continuum. Same for 'opposite' and 'same'...two things could be "not opposites" but not the same, either. They could be slightly similar, extremely dissimilar, etc. See my source for some fun with different types of antonyms (opposite type words.) Fun question.

That's a rhetorical question. I would have to say same is the opposite of opposite. Or is opposite the opposite of opposite. If same is the opposite of opposite then opposite must be the opposite of same. If opposite is not the opposite of same then what is the opposite of same? What is not the opposite of same it's just a question. But the question still remains. What is the opposite of opposite if the opposite is not same?

Was going to say the same, people obviously typed faster than me so I'm going to humour you and say:
ETISOPPO - a well known brand of German toothpaste?
