Metonymy is a figure of speech where a word or phrase is substituted with another word closely associated. For example, “the White House” refers to the U.S. President, and “Hollywood” can be used to discuss the U.S. film industry. It’s a way of replacing an actual name or word with a related concept, simplifying communication, and adding flavor to language by drawing on these associations.    Here are a few more examples! London Underground Train, Indie Filmmaking, Film Theory, Independent Filmmaking, Figure Of Speech, Blue Pill, Writing Dialogue, The White House, Film Industry
