@---BOX--- I like this word very much. No such thing as excessive in this though, as far as I'm concerned.
@---BOX--- Ok that's just a weird one (and quite an interesting word), but I wouldn't say that's an opposite in the least.
Did you perhaps mean something else or get the game mixed up a wee bit?
:)
@---BOX--- My wisdom??? Not at all. haha
I agree, clingy is a negative, but so is what you wrote (meaning "excessive submission") which is not a positive thing.
No one can be excessively anything without it becoming a negative.
In my experience.
Let it stand, my friend.
It's good to chat about words!
lolololol
@---BOX--- [SPOILER]
Great word! :)
Well, the implied intent of the word is that it is an excessive demonstration. It is to defer to the female, in this case, excessively, as you wrote " having or showing a great or excessive fondness...think about it, it would be a little bit over the top. Being loving an appreciative are quite different from anything excessive.
Personally, I would consider anyone described in such a manner as "clingy".
LOL
[SPOILER]
@ If you put it that way then ... but I live in cloud cuckooland and wishes are fishes and we all prance around to Seargant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band ... and my wifey takes it whereever she can, cos after twenty years of marriage, a bit of "Uxorious" (in the most positive sense) goes a long way.

@delamitri Is that it??????? just a YEP!!
No who, why, when?
No alibi?
No snivelling confession?
OHHHH ... You are a hard one. No conscious whatsoever. How could you????? Hours we (I speak for the whole community here) spend racking our brains ... the sleepless nights ... the zombie days of caffeine and coke and more caffeine.
These words are our lives and ... woe and pity upon more woe. The shame!

@---BOX--- How did you arrive at "uncomfortable" from "homely"?
Look at what Delamitri was replying to.
In this case, "homely" cannot be "comfortable" to be the opposite of "sumptuous", it has to be
"unattractive appearance".
You see, I too can pick the nit.
Lol, but I luv ya.
:)
@ Nit picking alert - warning RB!
If you describe a room or house as homely, you like it because you feel comfortable and relaxed there.
[mainly British, approval]
I wanted a homely room but I wanted it to look smart, too.
We try and provide a very homely atmosphere.
Here homely is a synonym of comfortable and its opposite is uncomfortable
I take each word as it comes with all its possibilities (as do you)
End of nitpick.

@delamitri And D's relply the same as before ... I smell a rat. What you girls been up to?
I reckon the game's up and I'll be escorting you to the nearest Prison Library (just like in the Shawshank Redemption) and you can learn how to be proper citizens of 2M.
@---BOX--- You found us out. We are cute little rebel rats.
Your prison will be of no use, as we will just walk right through the bars in our true form.
@delamitri Well it only took you two days to answer this - I thought you were doing some hard time without wifi. Then the challange is set - a jail like no other.
I know, a cruise around the Great Lakes foor five years (during the winter months only) transporting those wonderful cheap medicines from Canada to your side and shipping apple pie back to Canada. That should sort you out.
@---BOX--- That's just cruel. Someone must have told you about my dread for winter and cold.
@delamitri This act of treason shall not be forgotten in the Annals of Opposite Words 2018.
@delamitri Rebels? Rebels I hear? To the stocks with the ruffian rebels and no food nor drink until they are well and truely unrebellious Heh! Heh!
@delamitri Well be afraid, be verrrrry afraid for THEM are coming to judge the treasonous witches working in conjunction with satan himself (on a person level, coffees, brunch, torture training)
These are the Angels of SHAG (Slighty Harder Antelope Game) I liked the acromyn but we are still in the children's hour in some part of the world so just to be sure, to be sure.
Lock you all your mechanical toys that maybe lying around with dead batteries (you know the kind) as they don't take kindly to them - they use them for the earwax jobs.
@delamitri So you do't really use the ones for the earwaxing (nudge, nudge, wink,wink) that much - good sign that you have a healthy relationship or you haven't read the instructions!!
@---BOX--- I save my earwax. I rub down the iffy sides with it so my seasonings will stick.
@delamitri You know the earwaxing machines is a metaphor for a machine that is used here and it is translated as a "comforter" which I find very charming and quite true at the same time. How novel!
@delamitri of course especially for the comfortless. I suppose it is added comfort. Could send one to yo know who for Christmas. Could be used in a cockblock situation?

@delamitri The opposite of Cease (as in cease & desist) becomes Harass which in turn becomes a saloon (cowboy bar). Yes well ... ther is no question about it - I have called Oxford, Cambridge, Mirriam-Webster and they all came back with a big, fat duck egg.
@delamitri You are back at school, the night before the final exam and you haven't done your homework since the beginning of the school term - dilemma. Do I wing it OR do I stay up all night doing the homework and therefore be prepared for at least an 8.2 in the most important exam of your young life. No pressure man!
@---BOX--- I obviously chose to wing it, much to the chagrin of anyone who looks to me for answers.
@delamitri Sorry, wrong answer.
Your younger self feels that if you made the effort all her dreams would come true and you would now be sunbathing in the Carribean drinking Piña Coladas in a staw hat.
@---BOX--- My dear man, Box. Do you not know when you are being tested by the more *clever* of the sexes? My girl, Delamitri, was merely testing your powers of observation to ascertain if you indeed could time travel between the Double Letter game and this one.
However, a new category has emerged as a result of this series of *brilliant* tests and observations:
"Box's BOX of Bolloks" !!
:) :) :) :)
@ I must admit it has a certain ring to it but for full alliteration to be bestowed, I would suggest an alternate spelling of Bolloks to Bollox (using the uncountable version thus eliminating the need for the plural "s")
BBoB is where all gobbleygook and whatchamacallits and diddytoons can be put and used for any and all situations where foul play is being suspected or nonsense is being portrayed as knowledge.
As in "Hey RB, I believe you need to check your BBoB with that last answer you gave".
Or "You, BOX - sort yourself out - you are talking out of you BBoB again"
@---BOX--- Oh my god, in the contest of piss taking brain complications you win!
I bow to your piss taking abilities, oh wise Box!
BBoB!
haha
@delamitri "Might be in the wrong game" defence? You'll never get away with it. The Queen of Hearts is on court duty today so be ready for anything and cover up your neck. She might take a fancy to it.

@---BOX--- Cease means to stop.
Harass means to bother someone to the point of exhaustion.
The opposite of Cease is Harass!
So there!
@ I can see you are keeping on AT this, which may be the preposition you are missing here.
If you keep on at someone, you repeatedly ask or tell them something in a way that annoys them.
RB kept on at me and wouldn't give up until I conceded the point.
Keep on at would NOT be the opposite of Cease
I would concede that KEEP ON AT may have connections to Insist but Harass is a much stronger word to my ear.
I have checked the BBoB and got a firm confirmation.
QED?
@delamitri In a previous life I was an English teacher. It is in the genes and blood and bones.
