Zeugma is one of stylistic syntactic figures. It is defined as 'the use of a single word in relation to two other parts of a sentence althoughgrammatically or logically the word applies to only one of them' /Macmillan Dictionary/. For example, the joke 'The cinema-makers should shoot fewer films and more actors' is another example of zeugma.
