leopard, leper

Leopard or leopard means the large spotted cat that lives in parts of Africa--
Experts say that the leopard is the most dangerous of all the big cats.
He went on a safari, and got some wonderful photos of a leopard.

Leper or leper ( almost rhymes with leopard ) means someone afflicted with leprosy; an outcast--
Hawaii once had a leper colony, where people with leprosy had to live.
He says that no one talks to him anymore, and that he feels like a leper.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"She wore a satin dress and a leopard-skin coat, but they still treated her like a leper."
