Can you suggest word pairs that have a different relationship for different people?

Some words people in general would agree are highly correlated, like “nutritious/healthy” or “remote/mysterious.”

Other words have a strong negative correlation: “beneficial/death” or “absent/decisive.”

But there are some word pairs for which some of reflexively think of them as positively correlated and some of us think of them as negatively correlated. I’m thinking pairs like, “patriotic/ethical” or “Christian/forgiveness” or “liberal/efficient”.

I’m considering whether the use of these words prohibits conciliatory dialogue because of the normative weight of the second word in each pair. Anyway, I’m looking for more (better?) examples. The more specific the words are the more appropriate they will be for this process.

Thanks for your help.
