Actually two: also metonymy as contrasted to synecdoche.

I must find opportunities to use both of these in sentences!

And another surprise: it's pronounced like Schenectady. And metonymy is pronounced like Menomonie.

That's gotta be the premise for a limerick.

I'm working on it. I need another word that rhymes with synecdoche. And I assume bonus points will be awarded if the limerick contains both a synecdoche and a metonymy.
