Scrabble?! EQUIVOQUES

Definitions of EQUIVOQUES in various dictionaries:

In logic, equivocation ('calling two different things by the same name') is an informal fallacy resulting from the use of a particular word/expression in multiple senses throughout an argument leading to a false conclusion. Abbott and Costello's "Who's on first?" routine is a well known example of equivocation.It is a type of ambiguity that stems from a phrase having two distinct meanings, not from the grammar or structure of the sentence.Some examples of equivocation in syllogisms (a logical chain of reasoning) are below: Since only man [human] is rational,and no woman is a man [male], Therefore, no woman is rational.A feather is light [not heavy].What is light [bright] cannot be dark. Therefore, a feather cannot be dark.In the above example, distinct meanings of the word "light" are implied in contexts of the first and second statements. All jackasses have long ears.Carl is a jackass. Therefore, Carl has long ears.Here, the equivocation is the metaphorical use of "jackass" to imply a simple-minded or obnoxious person instead of a male donkey.
