imminence of death, loss or injury

JEOPARDY, as defined is an exposure to or imminence of death, loss or injury. It was derived from Middle English, Anglo-French term ‘jeuparti’ which literally means divided. Synonymous to it would be distress, endangerment, peril, trouble.

Antonyms: preservation, salvation, defense, protection.

Double Jeopardy, 1999

Since time immemorial, studying vocabulary had become one of my challenging habits. When I was starting out, I had the notion that synonyms are the good side of the word and antonyms are the bad ones. In most words, there are more synonyms than antonyms. I liked noting the synonyms better. Just so-so with the opposites.

Having the online Thesaurus can make me define the terms easily. Can this definition, though, keep us preserved and protected when faced with jeopardy? I cannot rely on either the dictionary or thesaurus this time.

It ain’t easy battling with one’s doubts and pride. Even FOREX trading has become easy with my daily undertakings. So does computing the odds for a Mix parlay on Sports betting. The next thing that I want to get used to is speaking conversational Mandarin, not just the “bad words” (as again, credited to Shi Liu ;-) F-i-s-h!) The lurking threats has suddenly driven me madder than ever.

Seriously, I feel like my turf is faced with double jeopardy. One enemy already around, soon the other enemy will be around.

L***e! Isa-isa lang, para patas at hindi ako mahinang kalaban.

I will kill for the antonyms: preservation, salvation, defense, protection – as murder isn’t always a crime.
