But ............there is a difference between the original post and those added.

In the original all of them contain just two words put together where the real meaning is opposite to each other with the exception of #11 (that really shouldn't be there as they are not the real meaning), where as the ones in the following posts are two words that just don't sensibly belong together (like happily married)........'Include me out' is close but three words and Verbal contracts which is a sentence.

All funny though.......
