It is the only word I know of that can mean totally opposite definitions based on its context.
"I resigned today" can either mean you quit, or you signed up for more.
That is all.

Had this telephone conversation with a friend here in Covers about a month ago. Both laughed.
Most ridiculous word still in use since the Nixon administration.

So I guess if you could get a book to give you a prop bet along the lines of:
Will Jim Boeheim resign?
You bet as much as you can on yes.

Cognoscenti such as Mark Saltveit, editor of The Palindromist, rightfully point out that my creation should not be called a true palindrome, because it makes no sense. But Saltveit says that I am probably safe in calling this "the world's longest palindromic sentence, or the world's longest parody of `A man, a plan.' " I'm satisfied with that assessment.
Jerry Berns has his candidate longest palindrome, consisting of 31,358 words or 119,180 letters, so he's got me beat. His is not in the form of a sentence, but it does have restrictions on how many times a word can be repeated (otherwise you could just do "A radar, a radar, a radar, a radar, ..." and have an infinitely long palindrome).

C'mon van, there are over 200,000 words in the English language. With all of those choices, resign is your #1 seed in the dictonary?
Just off the top of my head I'd have to say that blunderbuss and vomitorium both trump resign everytime.

what? that's not a palindrome at all. it is the shortest sentence that involves all letters of the alphabet.

You have a sick understanding of the definition of "palindrome."
