Striking synecdoche

Gripping language: Synecdoche is often used to emphasise important aspects of a character, for example, Captain Hook from 'Peter Pan'. The film version of the story has Jason Isaacs playing the Hook fellow.

Ever called a vehicle your ‘wheels’, or wanted to take a ‘headcount’? You’re using synecdoche!

THERE is a common saying: that the whole of something is usually more than the sum of its parts.
