Sod.

You're a little sod.

You've done sweet sod all to help me!

Sod off.

Pass me one of those sods of grass.
 
Lots of English words have two, or sometimes, three meanings, but sound the same.

Two, to and too for example.

Weather and whether.

There and their.

Some are spelt the same, sound different, and have different meanings.

Minute and minute, for example.

And how do you correctly write there are three two's in the English language?

I'm buggered if I know.
 
Set
I have set the table
A lovely chess set
First set to Laver
Ready, set, go
I set off for the match
That jelly is not set yet
Are we all set?
My teeth are an expensive set
That diamond is set in gold
The sun has not set yet
I saw a gorgeous girl on the film set
My heart is set on her
The film was set in Salford
The band played just one set
He set up a robbery
Blue Moon is a set of loonies
*********
That’s quite enough set. Ed.

You’ve been set on fire there!
You need moving to a higher set.
 
Blue and blue.
Sad and a City supporter, which have meant the same thing for much of my life.
