Strange Word-Pairs

English has a few words that seem to be opposites ( antonyms, ) but actually mean the same thing ( synonyms. )

Flammable and inflammable both mean "capable of being set on fire."

Ravel and Unravel both mean "come apart" ( esp as in something knit. )

And now, thanks to Internet Lolis; there's "nude" and "non-nude." ;p

( Which, come to think of it, relate directly to the others.... )

"As her garments began to unravel, the nonude child model proved me highly flammable." :)
