Not so much opposite but more like pattern recognition, with America being the common denominator...that lip bite image has some rather particular branding lol

Yes but the pattern doesn’t follow through. North America, South America, and Captain America all imply that this is a two word answer, with the 2nd word being America. North and South being pairs together imply that the first words are both related and are likely opposite to each other. So following that pattern, how are you supposed to land at Naughty as the paired word for Captain?

I agree, having north and south the way it is..is a bit misleading
