but probably 1920s or 30s. He says: "Zeugma" is like anti-climax in that it is a device used purposely for stressing the comic. It lends itself well to conscious humour, but has a danger for the inexperienced writer who is frequently trapped into its unconscious use. It consists of harnessing together unlikely yoke-fellows", and then quotes the
Macaulay phrase. He also gives another example to show how poor use of a zeugma becomes bathos: "What with happiness and onions she could scarcely see for tears". One of our family stories illustrates a zeugma, but is too personal to quote in the article. It concerns my auntie who, aged 10, had just been out with her mother to buy her first pair of suspenders (stockings)(this was 1942). Her sister, my mother, 11 years older, announced her engagement that day. That evening my auntie exclaimed as she was going up to bed: "Fancy me with suspenders and a brother-in-law!"
681:. The article doesn't look at first glance like a candidate for deletion, and since you were the nominator of the AFD, I thought you'd be in a much better position to verify whether it is a repost under the alternate name, just a coincidence in name, or whether something else is going on (I'm not even sure how it got on my watchlist since I did not vote in the afd). --

I was puzzled too--why would such a different name be a redirect to that article? and since it made my watchlist and was just created, it had to be previously deleted. Oh well. Sometimes mysterious things happen with the software although I'm imagining it is something like this: I placed a speedy tag

Hi. Thanks for note. Surely what makes it a zeugma is not that "dropping" is used in different ways but that "pearls" and "vermin" are unlikely bedfellows? I got the information from a book entitled "How to Write, Think and Speak correctly" ed C.E.M.Joad, Odhams Press, Long Acre, London, no date

It is not an obscure topic. These components can be useful in practically all webpages. I am actually baffled that, in the midst of these AJAX-hyped days, there isn't already a huge open source project on this subject. There are small attempts, yes, but these are nowhere near JSDC in providing the

Hi, I think that categories are generally more useful than lists. The two arguments for lists are that annotations can be added and that red links may encourage article creation. When the list doesn't have annotations that's the first raison d'etre gone. But if it's a long-standing and maintained

WayneRay Thanks for the reply, my concern was that first timers were lazy and thought they had to only put their name on a list and not create an article. As I have had only one responcse to my dead link cleanups, I will leave them and cease continuing the cleanups and see what comments come in
