The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.

I believe you may be referring to Antimetabole
. Someone also was asking about it last January. No answers there and no evidence of it on TV Tropes, though.

Would another example be some of The Sphinx's comments from Mystery Men?
- When you can balance a tack hammer on your head, you can head off your enemy with a balanced attack.
Do we have a trope for deliberately opposing phrases?
- Forget Me Not: My Organic Garden: After getting an Excellent Liver:
Woman in Black: She created soul-bearing fruit on trees, and I used my own soul to create trees to bear fruit.
