A Janus word is a word which is its own antonym. They are sometimes called amphibolous words, controyms, autoantonyms, contranyms or antilogies. It is a testament to the English language that context almost always eliminates the ambiguity that you think might exist with such words. Offer a Janus word with its alternate meanings, and if you like, offer a humorous use of your Janus word, or someone else's. Oversight can mean supervision over materials or processes, and it can also mean a neglectedthing or process. Presidential Oversight... Spare is another Janus word. It can mean 'over and above what is needed', or it can mean 'not abundant or plentiful'. Webster's Collegiate 1979
