Subject: A.Word.A.Day--anacoluthon
an.a.co.lu.thon n. A want of grammatical sequence or coherence in a sentence; an instance of a change of construction in a sentence so that the latter part does not syntactically correspond with the first part.
Herge, Explorers on the Moon, 1954, p. 176
Captain Haddock: "Blistering barnacles, this is a serious
interrogation! In other words, anacoluthons, you keep out of it."
