We’re moving next
to the homophone: a word pronounced the same as another but differing in
meaning, whether spelled the same way or not, as heir and air. So … contronyms are words that have contradictory meanings (sanctiion = approve and
disapprove; homophones sound alike
but to not mean the same—and often are not spelled the same, either.
1. genes (noun): pl. of gene, a part of a cell that controls or
influences the appearance, growth, etc. of a living thing
2. jeans (noun): pants made of jean (a
durable twirled cotton cloth) or denim—usu. used in the plural
“Because of
her impressive genes
She looked
impressive in her jeans.”
Now this was
said by several Genes
About some
women (all were Jeans).
It is no puzzle
what it means.
Although I
fear that it demeans
A woman
dressed in denim pants,
Who hates
the dude who looks and pants.
