Words that are their own antonyms

T-Rex has been introduced (by God, but that's a whole different storyline) to what they call "homographic homophonic autantonyms" and he totally fell for them. As how could he not? (Select the comic to actually read it!)
i looked up "emo" on wikipedia, and apparently there's a new form of music based on emo, but with more yelling into the microphone! guys. it's called "screamo".

(I had learned these as a somewhat simpler "autoantonym" and have a list of them here.)

Ridger -

If things like this interest you, then you are a prime candidate to join me in reading Steve Pinker's new book "The Stuff of Thought"!

And if you are interested in reading (and being an atheist) you are a prime candidate to join us in the Non-Believing Literati! Check it out here
