I love polysemes.

Cousins of homophones. A polyseme is one word with two distinct (but usually etymologically related) meanings. Eg: bank as in Lloyds vs river bank. Etc.
This will drive me nuts trying to think of more examples. Never heard of this before.
- shed (at least 3 distinct meanings, so great example)
- dust (also 3 meanings, but more boring)
- wave
- arm
- book
- spring
- band
- letter
- left
There’s actually quite a few, but some are more independent of each other than others, and it’s those ones that I find most interesting.

I have to say, I’m somewhat impressed that this is still on Prime. All is not lost.
It’s really not bad. Susan is a goddess.

Good movie!
Except it has Matt Damon, Adam Driver and especially Ben Affleck. I am not a fan of them. I am of historical films and Ridley Scott.
