Inside Out and Upside Down

What is the opposite of Inside Out?

Inside in, or outside out?
Or is it rightside in or rightside out?

And what about upside down?

Downside down or upside up?

Would vertically aligned be the opposite, and vertically challenged a synonym for upside down?

And shouldn't they be hyphenated, anyway?!

I'm definitely Inside-out and Upside-down on this matter!

How to Avoid Jejune Speeches

I just came across an interesting word while cruising thru the J section of the dictionary, as I am wont to do when I am writing speeches to present at ToastMasters.

jejune - I suspect this comes from French, but my pronunciation key says to use the hard "j" sound, so it sounds like stuttering. It means lacking in substance or interest, dry, barren, dull. It also means callow, juvenile.

opposites: vivid, interesting, remarkable, sophisticated.

Superfluity

Speaking of superfluity, I am intrigued by the pronunciation of this word. Especially how the emphasis differs from the word, superfluous.

It's like outrage and outrageous.

Outrage means extreme anger. Outrageous means extremely good. Or is that the connotation? It could also mean egregious.

Therefore, outrageous is one of those rare words which means something and its opposite!


Flummoxed. Did I discuss this word already, or am I confused with flamboozled?

A few other intriguing words: Flummery and Frippery.
