het·ero·nym
Noun: one of two
or more homographs [words that are spelled the same]
that differ in
pronunciation and meaning
(such as a bass voice and bass, a fish)
First Known Use:
circa 1889
31: intern
“Oh, don’t intern me!” so I
cried
As they just carried me away.
The intern whom I’d seen had
lied—
And now I really had to pay.
I kicked, I bit, I even swore
At the injustice of it all.
I prob’ly did a whole lot more—
But now I’m drugged—and can’t recall.
The intern laughed (or so I
heard)—
And stole my credit cards, my life.
The last I know (so chirped a bird)
He lives in Bali with my wife.
