Can someone give me a list, or a bunch of words that have double meanings?
Example:
Home - A place where you live.
Home - the home base in a baseball game.
Thanks!! 10 points for whoever gives me the best ones!

If you say "I'm feeling bold" or "S/he's a bold one" it can mean either bold as in fearless and daring or in Ireland(and probably other places in the UK) it can mean naughty or horny.
