Is there a name for a word that, when said a different way, can have a completely different meaning?
The word “pussy” is only one that comes to mind. You can say, “Oh that scratch on my foot is all infected and pussy.” In that instance, pussy would mean filled with puss.
Or you could say pussy a different way when referring to a cat or to a woman’s special area.
Is there a name for words like that? Are there any other words besides pussy that work like that???
