"Eats, Shoots & Leaves" employs figurative language primarily through its use of humor and ambiguity in punctuation, particularly the comma. The title plays on the dual meanings of the phrase, which can refer to a panda's diet (eating bamboo shoots and leaves) or suggest a more mischievous interpretation of a violent act. This clever use of punctuation highlights the importance of clarity in language and can lead to vastly different interpretations, making it a witty commentary on grammar.
