The [i]O.E.D.[/i] definition is: a figure of speech in which a word applies to two others in different senses (e.g. [i]John and his driving licence expired last week[/i]). Alternatively, you may go with anything that fits the wider [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeugma"]Wikipedia description[/url] (which includes numerous reviews here, as it is a word-saving device), within which [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeugma#Distributed_term_changes_meaning"]this type of syllepsis[/url] is pretty much synonymous with the dictionary definition. I have chosen this theme because it should be quite a challenge in contrast to the last one but everyone will be able to come up with some reviews if they put their mind to it. ([matt], I still have in mind that theme we were talking about, but I have gone with this one first so that I don't forget about it.) Please post a specific link to each review and give clear [b]spoiler[/b] warnings where appropriate. You are welcome to post existing reviews, but you are particularly encouraged to write new ones fitting the requirement. Indeed, people being less likely to already have sylleptic examples than reviews fitting many preceding themes was another reason for my selecting this one. Like all challenges, this will be completely open-ended, due to the variable speed of approvals and the fact that inspiration does not come at will. Good luck!
