Abstract: Given a groupoid $<G,star>$, and $kgeq3$, we say that $G$ is antiassociative iff for all $x_1,x_2,x_{3}inG$, $(x_{1}star{x}_2)star{x}_3$ and $x_{1}star(x_{2}star{x}_3)$ are never equal. Generalizing this, $<G,star>$ is $k$-antiassociative iff for all $x_1,x_2,\mathrm{...}{x}_{k}inG$, any two distinct expressions made by putting parentheses in $x_{1}star{x}_{2}star{x}_{3}star\mathrm{...}{x}_k$ are never equal. We prove that for every $kgeq3$, there exist finite groupoids that are $k$-antiassociative. We then generalize this, investigating when other pairs of groupoid terms can be made never equal.
