“our teeth and ambitions are bared” is a zeugma

and it’s a zeugma where one of the words is literal and one is metaphorical which is the BEST KIND

I didn’t know about zeugmas until just now! That is so awesome, everybody: 

zeug·ma

ˈzo͞oɡmə/

noun

  1. a figure of speech in which a word applies to two others in different senses (e.g.,John and his license expired last week ) or to two others of which it semantically suits only one (e.g., with weeping eyes and hearts ).

ISN’T THAT AWESOME??

#in english class in high school my teacher had us write our own zeugmas in class#and one guy came up with ‘he fell from her favor… and the window’#i am forever looking for opportunities to use that one

She dropped her dress and inhibitions at the door.

What’s this? My favorite rhetorical device showing up on my dashboard?

IT HAS A NAMEEEE!! OH MY GOD!!!

homestuck au where it’s just the beta kids’ modded to hell and back minecraft server. we’re talking those forge modpacks with 100, 200, 300 mods that take forever to load and they’re not small mods either

alchemy fuckery is the weird interplay between 5 different tech/crafting mods and all the exploits that come with that, same deal with modi and storage mods, lands are mod dimensions or biomes, 12 other kids broke their own server and keep pestering them to let them join, the scratch is when shit gets borked beyond repair and they decide to start the world over- except they get the seed wrong
