You remember your antonyms, synonyms and homonyms don't you?

Well in case you've forgotten, here's a fun word game to get your old noggin' refreshed and sharp.

For those of you older than windmills, e.g. the only schoolbook you had was the bible, here's a crash course:

synonym = different words that have the same meaning e.g. blanket and cover

antonym = words that have opposite meanings e.g. soft and hard

homonym = words that are pronounced the same and sound the same but have different meanings e.g. adds (mathematics) and ads (advertisements)

So the object of the game is to post either a synonym, antonym or homonym to the word the orger above you has posted. Be sure to indicate which one it is and if you're a braniac then do all three. Post a new word for the orger behind you.

I'll start

LIGHT (as in bulb)
