mollusque Does citation qualify? Apr 19, 2011
oroboros Thank'zu, 'zu! :o) Mar 10, 2011
ruzuzu riddle (it also means to unriddle) Mar 10, 2011
oroboros Yeah, good one. Added. Jan 12, 2011
ruzuzu And how about pass? You can pass an exam or you can pass on taking an exam. Jan 12, 2011
oroboros Point taken, 'zu. Also fbharjo's. Thanks. Jan 12, 2011
ruzuzu See comments on crummy. Jan 12, 2011
fbharjo rattle on/rattle off/rattle down - quasi autantonyms Jan 8, 2011
oroboros Thanks again, ruzuzu. Tuck-out's new to me. tuck in always meant to sit down and "dig in" to a meal with enthusiastic appetite; didn't realize tuck-out was the same. Course, little Jack Horner tuck-in his thumb and tuck-out a plum, don'tcha know! :o) Jan 7, 2011
ruzuzu You might like tuck-in and tuck-out. Jan 7, 2011
Prolagus See iroquoisy. Jan 6, 2011
ruzuzu You know, I've never seen Pulp Fiction, but that's the third time I've heard it come up in as many days. Jan 6, 2011
oroboros Thanks, 'zu. Cop as "Goin' to get all medieval on yo ass."? (Pulp Fiction, I think). :o) Jan 6, 2011
ruzuzu And are you doing foreign languages? I saw aloha--I think the French salut and the Latvian sveiks could go here, too. Jan 5, 2011
ruzuzu I think cop can mean both policing and stealing. Jan 5, 2011
ruzuzu See discussion on shelled. Dec 9, 2010
oroboros Interesting, ruzuzu. Thanks, I'll add it. Aug 6, 2010
ruzuzu The Century Dictionary shows that frank can mean both "unrestrained" (with freedom of movement) and "shut up in a frank or sty." Aug 6, 2010
mollusque How about demo? Jul 9, 2010
evin290 cleave is contranymic. It can mean to adhere, and it can also mean to sever. Jun 28, 2008
frindley I have come across three additional terms used in connection with this phenomenon:
contranym
antagonym
enantiodromic
and also
antanaclasis – rhetorical device that can make use of autoantonyms, although these two don't:
"We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately." (Benjamin Franklin)
"Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana." (Groucho Marx) Apr 27, 2008
