I'm reading—actually re-reading—an interesting time-travel story.  There are lots of details that I would change, but the story-telling is so good that, in some ways, if I tried to rewrite it, I would screw it up.

It's title is: Sweet Paladin, by Alex Washoe.  The author is trying to describe someone in modern-day Seattle, who was very, very Greek.

"If you were doing a revival of Zorba the Greek, and you needed the most obvious type for the roll, Babis was who they would send you."

The right spelling of role, a part in a play, is ROLE; the word roll means something rolled up, like a bed-roll (a sleeping-bag, your pillow, and your night-clothes, all rolled up), or something you use to put your hamburger in. 

Wait a minute; this pair of words are already in our list, darn it...

Brooch and Broach.  I wish I knew more about jewelry, but as far as I know, a brooch is a large, pin-on ornament, that can also be clasp.  You wear it on your breast, just as an accent, or you use it (as a clasp) to fasten a cloak.  Broach is a verb; it means to break through.  You broach a keg of beer.  You broach a sensitive topic, or a negotiation.  To my ears, both words are pronounced the same.
