whatever's exactly opposite you on a sphere, feet touching feet through the planet's core.
means the point on earth's surface diametrically opposite another point, so a straight line between them passes through the center of the planet.
from from greek anti (opposite) and pous (foot) — literally people whose feet point opposite yours, an ancient image of folks standing upside-down relative to you on the other side of the globe.
