Short and sweat
ITS A GOOD ONE -BUT I MISSED THEM ALL.
Good one...even tho I only got the last one right! Keep 'em coming!
The bright words were visible in the dark, also. Boots usually come in pairs, but maybe he was a pirate. In which case it would be difficult to kick off his boot with a pegleg.
Really enjoyed figuring out this teaser. Picky details aside, very interesting way that you incorporated the type of word pairs as part of the puzzle. Made the teaser have more depth than usual.

what about "We have been late, eight times already", for number two?
Hey fearnoevil, late and eight are not anagrams. An anagram is a word formed only from the letters of another word. There and three work.
Good work, cdrock.
Good work, cdrock.
Loved it!!
Yeah, this was a hard one, mostly because unless you read the hint, you didn't know what kind of word pairs to look for, and it just seemed like too many possibilities. I also have gotten rusty, I was going to look up all those type meanings, then I got lazy and just went to the answer. Wasn't sure about those different "onyms"! Thanks, good job!
well that was a hard teaser and if you didn't read the hintsit was pretty much impossible,
but it was still fun, i only got two of them lol

except it says they can be homonyms too, and late and eight are homonyms
I got nary a one, but loved trying. Very creative!!
i forgot what all the things were if i knew what they ment i might have gotten it
That was AWESOME!!!!!!!!! I didn't get any though...
It was hard but I got them all after a while! I would rate it 1 4 on a scale from 1-5.
sure that was neat
Excellent Teaser: I got one Right..... I feeel goood.Childlike, for some reason, but happy. I tell u, school is a must. The synOmum was good, at least I was on the write track. Inventive, inciteful, and useful. Somehow, where did I put my?????? OH, Yeah, my SynOmum.
didnt get any, but great teaser!!
that was really hard... but really fun. I only got number two right
cute!
cute!
Late and eight are not homonyms. Homonyms are words that are spelled the same or sound the same but have different meanings. Late and eight may rhyme, but they're not homonyms.
I have heard that the Siberian tigers occasionally answers the daily teasers on Braingle due to their easiness to solve. This is one of them. Kindly do not allow the brainpower of such an animal to develop or they may soon take over the world.
