Welcome to Homonym Heaven

hom·o·nym

NOUN
each of two or more words having the same spelling but different meanings and origins (e.g., pole and pole); a homograph.
each of two words having the same pronunciation but different meanings, origins, or spelling (e.g., to, too, and two); a homophone.
biology
a Latin name which is identical to that of a different organism, the newer of the two names being invalid.

This one appeared in a discussion recently...

"I better go home the carcasses…" followed by "...just noticed that autocorrect struck again, that was supposed to be hide the bodies…"

Another wrote... "I think poaching is aloud do to over population!"

These are my favorites of the moment. What are yours?
