Is there a term in literature, for a phrase that is nonsenseical but seems to make a weird sort of sense? You see this a lot of "fairy tales" and Alice in Wonderland-like stories. Where characters mutter something ridiculous yet it has a strange logic to it. Such as "He knows a lot...More than he knows..." or "less thank you think, but more than that"...

Still better than most threads on /lit/ these days. Have a bump, OP.

That's a good question op. There has to be somewhere in the ether. I would imagine that it would be similar to phrases like "otherworldly" or maybe "atypical". But now likely it's something with a negative connotation, like " trippy" or "strange".
What should we call it?
