Seriously?
Synecdoche, a word I'm not even certain I can spell. (It's spelled correctly here, thanks to google.)
A synecdoche (which I want to pronounce sin-eck-doshe) refers to a specific thing used to reference the whole, or the whole to reference a something specific. The example I read was "Croesus" for "a rich man" or "rich men."
So how does one start a sentence with "synecdoche"?
Maybe this is the exercise today, to think about the idea of synecdoche. What "specific" do I use to refer to the whole?
