Get the Melton Mowbray mug.(Gr. metonymia "changing of name") is a trope in which the name of a thing is replaced by the name of an associated thing. One name is used instead of another.
the following types of metonymy are differentiated:
1. the abstract stands foe the concrete
2. the container is mentioned instead of the contents
3. the material instead of the thing made of it
4. the maker of the thing made
5. the instrument is put for the agent
6. a part is put for the whole (synecdoche)

Get the Meron mug.Also called UM, Upper Merion has gotten better over the years BUT. This year it is increasing by a lot. The schools arent too good either. There are 4 elementary schools, Caley, Candlebrook, Bridgeport, and Roberts. One middle school and one high school. Many adults want to move away from UM because of the bad influence of kids, the bad neighborhoods. Upper Merion lies about 20 mins away from Philly. It is in between philly and a small depressed community named Pottstown. There is a high drug trafficking, property crime rate, and the violent crime zoomed up this year. Prince Frederick St is in a neighborhood called Brandywine Village, not the best street and Brandywine isn’t the best neighborhood. You got Sweet Briar the area around Six Eleven and Angelos. Not the best place either. Mostly all the neighborhoods are crime ridden, drug ridden and MORE. Although on the bright side there downtown{ is becoming urban each year with a high development rate. Just know where to stay out of in Upper Merion. And be home before dark because...
