pataphor 

An extended metaphor that creates its own context.

Created by Paul Avion and based on Alfred Jarry's science of 'pataphysics (the science of that which extends beyond metaphysics), a pataphor attempts to create a figure of speech that exists as far from metaphor as metaphor exists from non-figurative language.

Also, when an idea seems to take on a life of its own.

An assumption based on an assumption.

2 degrees of separation from reality.
"When the new teacher snubbed me, I thought it was because I failed the test.

When I learned the teacher hadn't seen me, I realized I had been thinking in pataphor, creating an assumption based on an assumption."

"That's all in your mind, fool; strictly pataphor."

"Because string theory is speculation based on ideas that are themselves speculative (i.e., theories of general relativity and quantum mechanics), quantum calculations are, increasingly, not describing an actual reality, but are mathematical pataphors." See also pataphysics.

Patapons are black and white creatures with a large single eye. The Patapon were a flourishing people until they were defeated by the Zigoton Empire. They began a journey to Earthend to gaze upon IT, and are attacked by their enemies along the way. They march to the drumbeat 'pata pata pata pon,' and attack to the drumbeat 'pon pon pata pon.'
Upon hearing the drums, the Patapon awoke from their slumber and grabbed their spears, ready to fight for the journey to Earthend.
