A fellow named Anu Garg runs a mailing list called A Word A Day (AWAD), in which he celebrates the diversity of the English language. Sometimes it's a little more serendipitous than others.
I don't know if anyone here subscribes to Anu Garg's A Word A Day mailing list, but my wife does. On the eighth of January this year, as part of a week highlighting words with multiple meanings, he sent out the word "malkin" with the following definitions:
malkin (MO-kin, MAL-kin) noun
1. An untidy woman; a slattern.
2. A scarecrow or a grotesque effigy.
3. A mop made of a bundle or rags fastened to a stick.
4. A cat.
5. A hare.
Now, far be it from me to engage in character assassination (/snark) but I found the first three definitions rather... evocative.
