Voete van lood, sou dit nou hierby inpas vir die swaarmoedige wonder ek nou?

My ouma het ook een van daai "meto-goete" gehad maar dis gelukkig kleindood en het geen invloed op my kennisdam gemaak nie.

Metonymy
Definition:
Metonymy in the literature refers to the practice of not using formal word of an object / subject and instead refer to it using a word that is closely linked to the formal / word name. It is the practice of replacing the main word with a word that is closely linked to it.
Example:
1. When we use the name "Washington DC" We are talking about US policy "and its tricks, referring to the political capital of the United States, because all important political institutions such as the White House, the Supreme Court, US Capitol and many more are there. The phrase "Washington DC" is the metonymy of US government in this case. Other examples: 2. - "the best feather of universal Literature is Cervantes" - and that was one of the best writers of his time. 3. - "the collar". 4. - "Picasso" (it is understood that it is a painting by Pablo Picasso). 5. - "It is the absolute master of those dollars," referring to the master of those places. More examples: 6 - "I pledge allegiance to the flag" → swear allegiance to the whole country. 7. - "I like to always drink a good Rioja" → Rioja wine (origin). 8. - "I was so hungry I ate two plates" → eat the contents of two dishes did the dishes themselves. 9. - "I hurt the sun" → the hot sun. 10. - "The ball flew and was introduced into the network" → was introduced into the goal.

Dankie baie baie! Verstaan nou bietjie beter

Oppas net dat jy dit nie inkry nie!  Dit mag dalk giftig wees.   

[Meraai vannie Baai]

 Teen die trant wat ek rottegif inkry reken die uwe daar gaan die volgende geskriffie op my steen eendag staan: "Hier le Metusalem - uiteindelik haar moses teegekom!"

Wonder ek, sou Metusalêma 'n gepasde vroulike vorm wees? Mens lê mos hoeka iemand tot ruste

Wat van Matusalam.  (So mak soos 'n lammetjie.?)

Jy weet mos 'n volstruismannetjie is 'n Volstront en die wyfie is 'n Volmaak!

[Meraai vannie Baai]

Ek bulder buurvroutjie wakker 

[Assie]

Ek is volmaak maar ek verstaan nie volstront nie.

[Naas]

Die volmaak was volstront nou is sy voleiers.
