Her Favorite Word

I was in her office and she was smiling smugly as usual. I remember
the creation and explaination of the word. She had to tell me
everything years ahead or it just wouldn't have been as fun!

I gazed at her waiting for her words of wisdom, hopeful for
enlightenment, friendship or even a positive interest. I was a new
recruit in my twenties. The word "ZEUGMA" is still in my notes! Why did
she take such and interest in me? Who knows what's in the mind of a
BTK! Certainly not reason. My notes read as follows.

A figure of speech where a word transforms two or more words, but only
one word seems linked. "The seat was not soft, but her skin was.
Zeugmas, at least!"

Don't open anything that has this word attached. Someone bounced a
virus off me in a discussion group a while ago.
