(Title shown below)

The two-word phrases and compound word below share an unusual property. Can you determine what it is?
 
1. Sit on
2. Hotheads
3. Go under
4. Come in  

HINTS:
Each clue can be changed according to a certain pattern to give another set of phrases and compound words.
 
Answer:
 
By replacing each half of the compound word and each word in the two-word phrases with its opposite, you get another set of compound words and two-word phrases. (The original and new compounds and phrases are not opposites of each other.)
 
1. Sit on - Standoff
2. Hotheads - Cold feet
3. Go under - Stopover
4. Come in - Leave out
