Words out of context.
The Accent Tag thread got me thinking about these.

What first definition/pronunciation that comes to your mind for the following:

Bow
Tear
Lead
Refuse
Content
Desert
Wind
Minute

RE: Words out of context.
Bow like the weapon. 
Tear like when you cry.
Lead like someone in charge.
Refuse like someone saying no.
Content like the objects on a shelf.
Desert like the geographical location.
Wind like blowing air.
Minute like a measurement of time.

Does anyone else see the title, and think this is going to be about differing interpretations of holy books?

My previous post contained pronunciation. This time, I am including meaning.

Bow = weapon
Tear = a rip
Lead = that which is inside a pencil
Refuse = won't do it
Content = something contained
Desert = sandy and hot
Wind = air
Minute = measurement of time

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Un-ion-ized

is what you say if you're a chemist.

If you're big on AFL-CIO, you say it the other way.
