seriously so interesting. My fav new words I've learned include:
- metonymy: substituting the name of an attribute for that of the thing meant (calling a person in business/corp. world a "suit").
- denouement: final part of play/movie/etc. where everything comes together.
- hybristophilia: an attraction to brutish criminals.
