I love the old Judy Garland flick, Metonymy St. Louis!
I joked last week about wanting to see the new movie "Metonymy New York", but none of my friends got it.
Ack, will I always have to keep learning? Won't I ever experience a sense of lasting satisfaction? Ok, just kidding, I guess. Kaufman was interviewed on The Colbert Report, only it seems the full episode has become rather unavailable at my destination for Colbert Nation procrastination...
After learning about synecdoche in a literature class, I was so proud of my elitism in understanding it. Now, Kaufman's ruined everything.
See also metonymy.
See Erin McKean, lexicographer to the stars, using "synecdochial" here.
