$  No, that's an antelope. An antonym is someone who hasn't got a name.

#  No, an antelope is when your mom's sister runs off with the postman, and
#  _Anton Nym_ was an (unsuccessful) musical comedy by Fedor Dostoevski and
#  Dave Brubeck.  The word you want is `antimony'.

>  Antimony is money you have to pay your ex-wife.  You're thinking of

@  No, no, 'anemone' is the white plastery stuff they pump your bowels full of
@  before an abdominal X-ray, you're thinking of 'Admantium', the substance
@  that The Wolverine's skeleton is reinforced with..

^  No, Admantium is a nasal steroid spray, which will "add man to um."
^  The word you want is `apogee.'

Come on. "Apogee" is the ancient Indo-European word meaning 'the letter that
comes after H'  What you're talking about is 'anabolic'.
