amphibology \am-fuh-BAH-luh-jee\ noun
: a sentence or phrase that can be interpreted in more than one way
Example sentence:
Not wanting to voice what I really felt, I resorted to amphibology and said, “Indeed! Bingley IS a rare sort of fellow.”
I thought he was well done.
I ain’t no amphibian; Crusader’s the toad.
“Lounge Lizards” are amphibians, you tippling tree toad.
Ouch. I first read it as “amphibiology“. Of course, you could still make a sentence about Bingley.
And what is wrong with amphibians?
“Oh froggy went a courtin’ and he did ride, uh huh, um hmm.”
Nuthin.
You mean Mr. Bingley croaked? ;-P
