I wonder if there’s a word for when a whole phrase has two opposite meanings without one of the words in it being a contronym (or using sarcasm, etc)
The example that made me think of this is a song lyric:
And she’s dancing like she’s never danced before!
There’s the intended meaning of better than ever… But if I were to dance it would also be like I’ve never danced before.
The Sphinx : Your temper is very quick, my friend. But until you learn to master your rage…
Mr. Furious : …your rage will become your master? That’s what you were going to say. Right? Right?
The Sphinx : Not necessarily.
