What are the opposite words for putting air?

The antonyms for "putting air" are removing air or deflating. When something is inflated, it is filled with air, while deflating means the opposite - when air is being released from an object, causing it to decrease in size. For example, if a soccer ball is inflated, it means it is filled with air, but if it is deflated, it means the air is coming out, and the ball is becoming less firm. Similarly, when a tire is inflated, it means air is pumped in, while deflating would mean the air is being let out, causing the tire to flatten. So, putting air in and taking air out are opposite actions.

Famous quotes with Putting air

• I have been afraid of putting air in a tire ever since I saw a tractor tire blow up and throw Newt Hardbine's father over the top of the Standard Oil sign. I'm not lying. He got stuck up there. About nineteen people congregated during the time it took for Norman Strick to walk up to the Courthouse and blow the whistle for the volunteer fire department. They eventually did come with the ladder and haul him down, and he wasn't dead but lost his hearing and in many other ways was never the same afterward. They said he overfilled the tire.

  Barbara Kingsolver
