Table (verb)
In parliamentary procedure, table as a verb has two auto-antonymic meanings, both arising as a shorthand for to place on the table. These contrasting meanings arise depending on whether one is considered as placing a motion on the table to suspend discussion on it, or to commence discussion; the former is used in the U.S. and the latter in the rest of the English-speaking world, although which meaning is intended in a particular context may not always be clear.
