Crime et châtiment. Dostoïevski. Une lueur fugitive me traversa l'esprit. Dostoïevski a-t-il rapproché les deux mots comme synonymes ou comme antonymes ?

It was the c-word. People used its synonym, its acronym, its antonym-indeed any other nym that came to mind - in the vain hope its meaning would somehow go away. It didn't. But if the people you chose to associate with were the very ones you could not marry, then the ones you did marry were quite often people you wouldn't dream of associating with if you had any choice in the matter.

Quel est l'antonyme de crime ? — L'antonyme de « crime », c'est « miel ». Quelque chose de doux comme le miel. J'ai faim tu sais ! Apporte quelque chose à manger.
