You forgot what crack means in US English. If one day Drifter goes to US with me, I'll pass him some to smoke, then call police to arrest him.Just kidding.
Already stated by TS.
This reminds me of one of the most multiple versatile English words - fuck!
Fuck you - can mean sexual intercourse with you
Fuck you - can mean I curse you to go and die
Fuck you - can mean long time no see, good to see you
Fuck you - can mean what hell, I don't give a damn

Good choice, even though I sometimes cringe when people use "erection" to describe a building.
The reflex action is to look down, just to make sure.
Very rarely seen it used other than with sexual in front of it.
But I think the word intercourse actually started off as a word without any sexual connatations.
Simply means interaction or some form of gathering/debate, I believe.
Another good word, although it's more with multiple usages rather than meanings.
The meanings are all simiilar, as in arrange/fix/determine.
Set also used in sports and to denote collectivity, like your example of the golf clubs.
you smile and relax.
As in game, set and match. Game can mean a hunted animal or a bet too. Match is more interesting. It can mean a duel, a lighting stick or a marriage.
ah ram please check your mail .

Good words, fine too. Walk a fine line.
Game theory.
Match can also mean to be the same or to find compatibility.
