The Rolling Stones and their zeugmoids

[Ben Zimmer]

The Rolling Stones lyric "She blew my nose and then she blew my mind"
(from "Honky Tonk Women") has come up here a couple of times. For my
latest Word Routes column, I talk about that line and other
"zeugmoids" (as Arnold Zwicky calls them) from the pen of Mick and
Keith.
