Starts with "Z": Zeugma, a.k.a. Syllepsis, starts with the "Z". A grammar term that means omitting an implied word, a verb or noun, which the reader by the mind presumes is there. I don't think we had this in grammar school nor in high school. Did you?

My pictorial example for Zeugma. They were all seated at the table and began eating, and the dog. [what was the dog doing, it also was at the table eating.]
A Favorite: Pets will be my favorite today. This posting may be going to the dogs anyway.

Tom's choice, "ZZZ": "ZZZ", I was getting my Z's, a little snooZe, but then Jim came along and by his commotion woke me up.
Reflections and Street Captures: This is Dutch, he didn't know we were watching him watch some birds play on the sidewalk and the street. When he looked away, I caught this one.
Then he saw me and pleaded to make the room quiet again so the kids wouldn't scare his birds away.
Dutch, a Blue Russian cat, belongs to my younger daughter and youngest granddaughter. He's still fairly new to our family.
