Just realized workaround is a phonetic auto-antonym
workaround - a shortcut to avoid work
work a round - to do a round of work
Auto-antonyms are my new favorite thing :)

"cleave" is my long-time favorite autoantonym:
> Cleave
> 1. to adhere closely; stick; cling
> 2. to split or divide by or as if by a cutting blow
I prefer "resign" because it can actually be ambiguous in sentences, while "cleave" can be disambiguated by the presence or absence of a direct object. Suppose you see a headline "Star Player Resigns" - it can mean either that he quit (ri-ZINE) or that he signed a contract extension to continue playing (REE-sine).
