I've said all this on the phone. My B.

In studying for the GRE I've come across lots of words I don't know and lots of words I only thought I knew:
Peruse: to examine with care.
Cleave: 1) to split 2) to adhere, cling, or stick fast.
How can a word mean one thing and that thing's opposite? (There's probably a word that means just that). Or really, how can such a word appear in an analogy? Since you would then be able to make two opposite analogies.
And, 20 bucks to the first person who can explain how Vapid is the antonym of Effervescent.
