There's a group of words called contronyms that have two opposite meanings. My favorite is that you can cleave things together or cleave them apart.

I have a friend who sends me birthday greetings each year and we trade emails talking about everything that's happened since the last time. Then, when his birthday comes, I send him greetings and we do it again. The trouble is that his birthday is 17 days after mine and not much happens those days.

I think we need more "hot people aren't really hot" posts. Sydney Sweeney has weird eyes. The circled part is too low.

Marathons always have music playing that's running related, but that one never gets played for some reason.

I have a very very bad film scheduled this week. The ratings are deceiving.
