Pronunciation: counter partner - (noun for a perfect match)

Sentence: Peter had the harebrained idea to invite a bunch of honey bunnies to his hare ball, hoping to find his true love among them. Peter, in coat'n'tails, looked very debonhare, not at all like the the other harelequins. Making a haremonic progression among the lovely honey bunnies, he approached Jean Harelow, the sexiest hare piece of all. She smiled, immediately attracted by his hare raising charms. "My what a beautiful hare dress you're wearing! I love your blonde hare style," Peter gushed, giving her his stale old harelines. The whiffs of bad air, from his hare lips, twitched her nose up. She stared down at him, giving him the silent treatment, and a real hare cut. By a hare's breath, she was unwilling to give his other qualities their proper hare due, even though he was her perfect counterpartner.

Etymology: COUNTERPART, PARTNER. Counterpart - either of two parts that fit together or are complementary. Partner - either member of an established couple in a love relationship.

Another wiled hare story! (I don't think there is anything left for tomorrow ... might not make my goal ... of a wiled hair for every day this week.) - silveryaspen, 2009-02-12: 01:24:00

Love your hare-raising stories...they are 14 carrot! Reminds me of some bunnies we once had...Rabbit Redford, Bunny Goodman and Scarlett O'Hare! - Nosila, 2009-02-12: 01:33:00

counter could also be opposed to - Jabberwocky, 2009-02-12: 13:17:00

absolutely correct Jabberwocky. It so obvious I didn't even give it a thought. - silveryaspen, 2009-02-12: 13:24:00

guess the word could fit both parts of the definition Jabberwocky ... thanks for pointing that out! Now blow in my ear and give me a brain transplant, so I won't be such an air head, or should that be harehead again! - silveryaspen, 2009-02-12: 13:45:00
