hypallage rhymes with analogy

a literary device that in its more general sense refers to the “reversal of the syntactic relation of two words.”

in reference to the the merriam-webster’s word of the year: distracted driving.

(also of particular note, 2006’s truthiness: truth coming from the gut, not books; preferring to believe what you wish to believe, rather than what is known to be true.)

from this article at the visual thesaurus where they also say this, it was sad to think of those cute little mayonnaises, running around unconstrained and happy until it was time for them to join the rest of the ingredients in my sandwich.
