Puzzle Description:

Peel: A fruit's covering and removal of that covering

#1: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Sep 29, 2021 [SPOILER]

Peel the peel, toss the peel, eat the meal with much appeal

Colloquially, another meaning applies with respect to one's eyes.

True, many of these may have other meanings as well, but I'm looking for the contronyms. They are the opposite meanings for the same word that I find so appealing. One might say they ring my bell but that's another peal altogether.

I'm with you, Brian. I love studying our language, purely in a geeky way, lol.
