I saw a sign today that said REVERSE MORTGAGES. I barely know what that means; maybe the bank pays you. Probably not. I guess it has to do with borrowing against your equity. Of course, it got me to musing on the semantic possibilities. How about these?
REVERSE MARRIAGE -- separation or divorce.
REVERSE CONFESSION -- the priest tells you his sins.
REVERSE HIRING -- firing.
REVERSE WINNING -- losing.
REVERSE VIRGINITY -- [it doesn't work that way]
REVERSE SAVINGS -- spending.
REVERSE HOMER -- strikeout.
