Linguistic Devices

Linguistic devices are wonderful. I love their names. They sound like medical conditions. Let me show you:

"I must try and shrug off this hendiadys."

"I think we may have an iddy-biddy touch of hypocorisma today."

"Litotes and meiosis are not everyone's favorite words."

"If you don't get something done about your aposiopesis..."

"This dyst-friggin-mesis is driving me crazy."
