Zeugma is is a figure of speech describing the joining of two or more parts of a sentence with a single common verb or noun.
eg. He took his hat and he took his leave.
Raising less corn and raising more hell.
He killed the bottle and killed his sister.
I was arguing with my English teacher today that there were some instances of this in rap, but then couldn't come up with any examples.
Anyone know of any?
