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?

As a child I was told the German word ZUG has 57 different meanings.

Did Karl Heinz tell you this.

This is the beauty of words.
For instance;
Rag: Most people think of this word as an old cloth, no doubt ripped up and used for dirty jobs.
Blues on the other hand know it means something else entirely.
And this is where the english language is at its most beautiful. Its amazing that a simple word like rag also means ****.

Clout:

Charlies bodyguard Fred gave the masked up sausage a right good Clout.


Clout in archery refering to targets or small flags on sticks, placed at a distance for archers to shoot at.


Ladies equipment usually stored under garments called knickers or panties


It's a proverb: Cast ne’er a clout till May be out”


Also a Clout is an indiomatic expression that expresses a sense of power or influence over others.
Our moderators for example carry a great deal of Clout on our Moon without even knowing it.

I think it's also mentioned a few times in the game of cricket.
