treasure/junk
treasure:junk
there are amazing similarities between the two, even though the dictionary definitions are opposed
Junk:
| 1. | any old or discarded material, as metal, paper, or rags. |
| 2. | anything that is regarded as worthless, meaningless, or contemptible; trash. |
| 3. | old cable or cordage used when untwisted for making gaskets, swabs, oakum, etc. |
| 5. | Baseball Slang. relatively slow, unorthodox pitches that are deceptive to the batter in movement or pace, as knuckleballs or forkballs.
Treasure: | 1. | wealth or riches stored or accumulated, esp. in the form of precious metals, money, jewels, or plate. |
| 2. | wealth, rich materials, or valuable things. |
| 3. | any thing or person greatly valued or highly prized: This book was his chief treasure.
|
Both encourage hoarders and people become overly obsessive about both.

your junk is my treasure.
I collect them and look after them.
