@DropBear @skisnow I do have to say, though, that this is the first time I've heard "Death to [country]" explained that way. Not saying you're wrong, just that it's indeed not so strange to construe those phrases as a threat to people instead of a calling for an end to a political entity.

I *hope* it's not usually meant as a personal threat, as you say. Though I have to say the people shouting it don't usually seem intellectual types who would mean it in such a... synecdochal way. #Synecdoche

#synecdoche involves replacing a specific part of something with the whole.

#metonymy involves replacing a word or phrase with a related one.

For example, “stars and stripes” is a synecdoche for the American flag because these are part of the flag.

On the other hand, “the crown” is a metonymy for the monarchy

Opened a book today to find a lovely reminder from an old project.

This little tear-off pull tab from a telephone pole flyer for the Jejune Institute conjures up so many memories.

This has been a problem for me all my life. When I ask for clarification on ambiguous questions/assignments, I've been called a smartass or a dumbass and am chided for not understanding the obvious. I've been called a disturber or told to use my brain. It's left me paranoid and wondering if subconsciously I am doing this on purpose. A lifetime of gaslighting.

The same thing goes when people use synecdoche and I think they're being literal. As an example, years ago, my in-laws, a military family, were talking about war and said "when we were in the Middle East." Confused, I said, "oh, I hadn't realized you lived there too."

This made them blow up at me because apparently I was supposed to know the "we" meant the Canadian military in general, and not my in-laws.

Anyone have a synecdoche for a tree. I don't want to use 'a piece' or a branch etc.) but there has to be something that works. #Words

We don't only give hot political takes on here, we also write reviews from the perspective of an acid head. This old one is getting clicks today so we wanted to boost it further: https://www.tomwiththeweather.org/2022/08/09/the-rehearsal-a-review-of-synecdoche-new-york/. It's our attempt to show the parallels between the amazing film Synecdoche, New York by Charlie Kaufmann and the mind blowing television show The Rehearsal by the famously Canadian Nathan Fielder. Think that sounds insane? We're just getting started. #TheRehearsal #Synecdoche #Movies #Television
