upside-down (Posted on 2004-05-14)

Can you think of a word in the English language that, when written, can be turned upside-down to result in an abbreviation of the antonym of the original word?
Where "turned upside down" is a 180 degree rotation about a central point. (i.e. "moo" would become "oow")

The word "up." Write "up" upside down, and you get "dn", the abbreviation of "down", which is the opposite of "up."
