Two (maybe new to you) Literary Tropes

Caitlin here folks, and it’s time to have fun with English!

synecdoche:when a part of something is used to represent its whole.

ex: “The White House” released its comments on the upcoming Inaugural Address.

Here the “The White House” represents the people inside of it, not the actual White House.

kenning:a compound (of two words, usually hyphenated) using figurative language to create a concrete noun.

ex: mind-plans

manifestabsurdity Asks:

I am notorious for correcting other people's grammar.
