Well in the case of the song he mentioned, pun homophone would fit in that. As far as Wheel of Fortune, it's different. I guess, they're 2 separate cases. | ||

"Sailing on the seven seize the day," for example is a combination of "sailing on the seven seas" and "seize the day," utilizing homophones. I've been wondering this for years I just never voiced the question. I have posted on Facebook I really hope there actually is a term for this :3 I have never heard of these. It's basically mashing two different expressions together? That's basically neologism or something. | ||

Yes I'm talking about the "basically mashing two different things together" part. It's not necessarily a neologism since a lot of the ones on Wheel of Fortune, for example, are a bit nonsensical, and the ones that do make sense are usually within the original meanings of the constituents. The full lyrics in the relevant portion of the aforementioned song, for example, is as follows: Sailing on the seven seize the day tripper diem's ready Jack the ripper Owens Wilson Phillips and my supper's ready Lucy in the sky with diamond Dave's not here I come to save the Day for nightmare cinema show me the way to get back home again | ||

The literal translation of the term we use for that kinda thing would be "multiple composition" (=Mehrfachkomposita), but I'm pretty sure that won't help you since it really doesn't work like that in English. Although I'm pretty sure the term also applies to the mashing together of sayings, so maybe. | ||

I can only suggest paraprosdokian, neologism, or just simply making things up while on drugs. | ||

I'm not sure if there is a term for that. im gonna call it a "conjoined anadiplosis semantic syllepsis" | ||
