Zeugma

A new favorite word.

From Dictionary.com , Zeugma is: "A construction in which a single word, especially a verb or an adjective, is applied to two or more nouns when its sense is appropriate to only one of them or to both in different ways."

For example: He lied about the National Guard and WMDs.
