Shrimp/Wimp & Lobster/Mobster is clearly superior, I'm afraid you're incorrect here.

Should be Lonster/Monster. It makes less sense but I find it more satisfying to say.

But...wimp isn't the opposite of a mobster. It's just not.

u/RunningOutOfEsteem 1d ago

It's also not really the opposite of monster

u/JerkGurk 1d ago

But it is? Not an actual monster, just the term.

Usually, when someone refers to someone else as a monster, they are saying they have done something terrible. I've never heard it in the context of strength before, we usually say someone is a beast when they are strong.

I mean like when it's used in UFC, boxing, hockey, basketball, etc.

I have heard people referred to as monsters after accomplishing a feat or sarcastically after doing something smaller than a feat. You’re not alone mate.

A mobster could be argued to be strong and confident, unlike a cowardly wimp.

I'm unsure if I would call a monster the "opposite" of a wimp.

"Rule of Cool" rhymes for a reason lmao

But even so, monster isn't the opposite of wimp either. If they did Zero/Hero, I'd put a boogie dollar down.

They made the rhyme in the first place. It was up to them to follow through and they fumbled.
