My Dorothy Parker doesn't work, I guess, but I dreamed of winning with under ten words.
I have a "piece of ass" meditation in Per Contra, by the way. The first of the two limericks is on point:
Dame Rhetoric
Synecdoche means when we name
A thing by a part of the same,
As folks with no class
Say "a fine piece of ass"
When referring to all of the dame.
Metonymy's almost the same.
It means when we give things the name
Of something related:
"A skirt that I dated"
Refers not to clothes but a dame.
