- Summer Glau was born in the same year as I. This makes me feel pleasantly young.
- What metonymy means (yes, I may have known it before, but I didn’t remember.)
- Apparently if I were a rock star, I’d be either Siouxsie Sioux, Kate Bush, or Fernanda Takai, none of whose music I’d listened to until so informed. (Two down, Kate Bush to go.)
- Someone who’s never been a judge is ‘qualified’ for the Supreme Court.
- If a worker bee lays an egg, the other worker bees turn on her and devour her for her crimes.
- A pin can go really, really far into your foot and not produce a lot of blood.
I hope you are duly edified.

Kate Bush
She’s one of those who grow on you after a while. Sampler enroute.
Metonymy
Like The Man?

Thankee kindly.

Re: Metonymy
I didn’t know what a metonymy is until I clicked on your handy link. So, is an example of a metonymy when people say “The Man” when referring to the evil gov’t? I always learn something new with you…
Re: Metonymy
Hmm…I’ve never thought of it that way. I suppose it could be, where the Man is some individual, faceless agent of oppression (like The Man With Keys in E.T.). Interesting thought, Miz Lindz.
