The opposite of “bonfire” is, presumably, “malice.”
This is brilliant
also:
We also once got an appliance repaired by a company named “Bonfe”
and when I forgot the name I made up a mnemonic to remember:
“it’s what you get when you take the ‘ir’ our of ‘bonfire’”
and since ‘ir’ means ‘go’ in Spanish, my brain went on to add, “that’s like taking the ‘go’ out of ‘fuego’”
and then i realized if you take the ‘go’ out of ‘fuego’ you get ‘fue,’ which is the PAST TENSE OF IR
so my mnemonic became a multi-level bilingual pun, which is so on brand for me that I’m never forgetting the name of that company even now that I live in a state where it doesn’t exist
