A word with two opposing meanings 1

[BillyRayPreachersSon]

I came across a word yesterday that has two meanings, one of which means the opposite of the other.

Can anyone guess what the word is? It's 6 letters long and begins with the letter "c".

Maybe we need to start another thread titled, "You know you're in trouble when . . ."

Personally, I know I'm in trouble when it all goes quiet...

James, is that like Jeff Foxworthy's, "You Know You're a Redneck When..." routine

(Very funny if you haven't seen it, YouTube it)

Used to love listening to his routines until I realized he was talking about me .

BTW, nobody has asked about my word:
