Bench Press for your Brain

[b][i][color=\"gray\"][font=\"tahoma\"]Well... i thought i might post this just for something to do.

The words "Black" and "White" are opposite in meaning. Name two more words, one rhyming with black and the other rhyming with white, that are also opposite in meaning.

Let's turn this into a game... the person who answers must post another brain teaser, or riddle, something that makes you think, aslong as it has something in it that can be answered, it should be fine. [/b][/i][/color][/font]

how about \"slack\" and \"tight\" .... and here\'s a really tough brain teaser .... Name two words in the english language that are both antonyms and homonyms.

In case you don\'t know:

[b]antonym[/b] - words of opposite meaning
[b]homonym[/b] - words that when pronounced, sound the same. They may have different meanings or spellings.

[b][i][color=\"gray\"][font=\"tahoma\"]slack & tight were correct... (*mumbles something about "fdj" and "Being too smart for his own good"*)

lol..... this is a really tough one .... so I\'ll add a little clue:

Think of the building of a barn and the taking down of a barn.

As well one of the words is rarely used and many people have never heard of it. That\'s what makes this one so tough.

Jane is 5\'6\"
Tom is taller than Jane by 1/2 the difference in height between the shortest person and the next shortest.
Sam is 3 inches shorter than Tom.
Jill is 1 inch taller than Sam.
Fred is 3 inches shorter than Jane.
George is 1 foot shorter than Fred.

How tall is every one?
