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
48: produce
“You must produce more produce!” cried
The customer in heat.
“I love my veggies! Nothing more
Will I accept to eat!”
The manager (the butcher shop)
Could not reply—no word.
To ask a guy who sells but flesh
For kale is, well, absurd.
The customer grew ever more
Obnoxious—such a dork!
The butcher then “took care of him”—
And put him with the pork.
