How to Find Ambiguous Words

Post by Plat »

Sometimes I'll hear people say "I like that song title because it can have several meanings."

I was feeling geeky tonight, so I programmatically made a list of ambiguous words. It might give you some ideas for your lyrics, or for songs where you get to pick the title.

Here are the top words:

break, cut, run, play, make, light, clear, give, set, hold, draw, take, fall, pass, head, call, carry, charge, catch, check, turn, point, close, get, open, cover, lift

You can catch a ball, but there is a catch.

Do you catch my drift? If so, you're quite a catch.
