Example:WE REGRET TO INFORM YOU THAT THIS EXAMPLE SENTENCE CANNOT BE PRINTED AS THE AUTHOR OF THIS BECAME CARRIED AWAY.

Zeugma

A word

Definition: This seemly random mishmash of letters is a word found in the English language. It means exactly what you think it means and also achieves that strange paradox of meaning what another person thinks it means.
