English citations of synecdochically
- 2007, Erin McKean, Erin McKean redefines the dictionary:
- "well, people use the dictionary to stand for the whole language. They use it synecdochically -- and one of the problems of knowing a word like "synecdochically" is that you really want an excuse to say synecdochically. This whole talk has just been an excuse to get me to the point where I could say synecdochically to all of you. So I'm really sorry. But when you use a part of something -- like the dictionary is a part of the language, or a flag stands for the United States, a symbol of the country -- then you're using it synecdochically. "
