Here's a cute little puzzler for those of you who don't follow Click and Clack on NPR (if you don't, you're missing a riotious show even if you don't drive a car).

There certain words in the English language which are their own antonyms.

For example: cleve can mean to split things apart (as in cleaver), or to join things together (cleve unto each other.)

The PGA can sanction a tournament, but also sanction golfers who break the rules.

Can you think of other words which are their own antonyms?
