The following is a list of auto-antonyms, words which have two or more definitions where each is the opposite of the other, yet thanks to the beauty of language these words are rarely confusing to most of us:

“Appropriate” can mean “to give (money or assets) to” or “to delegate to,” as well as “to take something (for one’s own use).”

"Bound" can mean "tied into immobility" or "leaping, jumping.”

"Cite" can mean "to recognize a good deed or performance" (cite for bravery) or "to require a court appearance" (often not a good thing, such as citing for DUI).

"Chuffed" can mean "pleased" or "displeased".

"Cleave" can mean "to cling" or "to split apart".

"Clip" can mean "attach" or "cut off"."

"Conclude" can mean "to start" (a contract) or "to end".

"Demiurge" can refer either to God as the creator or to the devil, depending on philosophical context.

"Drop" can mean to delete or eliminate (e.g., to drop a song from a playlist), but it is also slang for releasing an artistic creation into the world (e.g., to drop a new song on a music streaming service). So, the sentence "Her latest song was dropped" has two opposing meanings.

"Down" can mean unhappy ("I'm feeling down") or happy ("I'm down with that").

"Downhill" can mean things are getting worse, or getting easier.

"Draw" the curtains can mean either to open them or to close them.

"Dust" can mean to remove dust (cleaning a house) or to add dust (e.g. to dust a cake with powdered sugar).

"Egregious" can mean "outstandingly bad". Was originally used to mean

"remarkably good". The word's roots mean simply "standing out from the rest of the group", a concept that can apply either "in a good way" or "in a bad way".

"Execute" can mean either "to begin" (a plan or an action), or "to terminate" (a person).

"Factoid" can refer either to a genuinely true but insignificant statement, or (less often) to a false statement presented as true.

"Fast" as an adjective or adverb can mean "without moving; fixed in place", as in "holding fast" (also as in "steadfast"), or it can mean "moving quickly".

"Hew" can mean "to chop" or (in North America) "to adhere".

"Impregnable" can mean "invulnerable" and also vulnerable (to impregnation).

"Inflammable" technically means "capable of burning" ("in-" functioning as an intensifier) but is commonly misunderstood to mean "unburnable".

"Let" can mean "allow" or "prevent" (A British Passport contains a request that the bearer be allowed to "pass without let or hindrance".)

"Left" can mean "remain" or "leave" ("He left the room" or "He was the last one left in the room")

"Limit" can be inclusive or exclusive. For example, a request to "limit the damage to the clock tower" can mean to protect the clock tower from damage or to protect everything else but the clock tower from damage.

"Nonplussed" can mean "baffled" or "perplexed", but in North America can also be taken mean "not disconcerted" or "unperturbed" (a disputed usage)

"Off" can mean "activated" / "beginning to make a noise" (e.g. "The alarm went off") or "deactivated" / "ceasing operation" (e.g. "The alarm turned off by itself").

"Overlook" can mean to miss seeing something, or a place to see something from above.
"Oversight" can mean "accidental omission or error", or "close scrutiny and control".

"Refrain" can mean either non-action or the repetition of an action (e.g. in musical notation).

"Scan" can mean "scrutinize" or "skim".

"Strike" can mean to act decisively, or to refuse to act. Also, it can mean to hit, or to miss (as in baseball). In addition, it can mean to create ("strike a deal") or eliminate ("strike that line from the record").

"Table" can mean to discuss a topic at a meeting, or to postpone discussion of a topic.

"Weather" can mean withstand something (i.e. to weather the storm) but also to wear down or age.

Hi there if you are in America I suggest you ASAP contact your congressperson and ask them to oppose the CASE act, a weird copyright bill being voted on tomorrow

Short version: Now in addition to normal courts plus the DMCA there'd be this new weird copyright quasi-court. By my read if notice is served and you don't respond within 60 days you could get hit with a $15,000 fine as default judgement. Sounds really easy to abuse.

damn checking my phone is fuckin boring lemme check my phone instead real quick
