Paraprosdokians:
Sentences wherein the ending gives a twist to the beginning
Writer Stephen King once said, 'I have the heart of a small boy - in a glass jar on my desk.' The first part of the sentence seems so innocent, but the second part gives it a macabre twist. Sentences like this are called paraprosdokians and that’s what this episode of The English Nut is about - the clever, often humorous, twists in language that make you rethink the beginning of a statement by the time you reach the end. Do watch for more such memorable and witty paraprosdokians from comedians, writers and even presidents. But first, do subscribe to The English Nut on Instagram, KZitem, Facebook and Twitter. Thank you.
