That's right! You got the essence of it, means, you got the word!

It's PARAPROSDOKIANS!

A paraprosdokian (from Greek “παρα-“, meaning “beyond” and “προσδοκία”, meaning “expectation”) is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part. Like Churchil said, "Where there's a will, I want to be in it."

Like I said, "I don't want to declare a winner, but it's victauria's turn to host."
