Comments: Is it possible for a word to mean the opposite of itself?

I like [Name Redacted] a lot better than their actual name. Driven by boredom and disgust for theater, I myself stay the fuck home.

Enjoin, cleave, stay, and fast are particularly delicious auto-antonyms. Pretentious, as you know, is not. I'm afraid you're stuck with a "Princess Bride" quote here.

Sometimes it's best to just make your art, rather than talk about the art you make.
