Strange & awesome words #5.

Zeugma (noun):
A literary device of using a word which applies to two others of which it semantically suits only one. For example, "With weeping eyes and hearts."

I discovered this playing Words With Friends, when I made a random mix of letters and it worked! Which, I must admit, is often how I get by. Haha :)
