Here is my new word of the day: Paraprosdokian. I find it too funny to keep to myself! Thank you, Bruce Browning for always sending only the best email forwards! A Paraprosdokian is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected; frequently used in a humorous situation. An example: "Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad."
Please leave me comments today using your favorite paraprosdokian. Let's spread giggles.
I would like to try this in a sentance structure while using my new vocabulary tool and the word itself!
"The word, paraprosdokian reminds me of a Kardashian. Being around them automatically makes you the punch-line."
