So we're studying rubber (like the polymers) in my statistical mechanics class, but the professor has a British accent (he's like a Liam Neeson twin), so everytime he says "rubbers" with his accent, it makes me think of what that means in the British language, and I have to stop myself from giggling in the middle of class.
Using "rubber" in that way is a synecdoche!!
ReplyDeleteHaha, wait, because "rubbers" are made of rubber?
