It's synecdoche.


Or "metonym", which has almost the exact same meaning.


I didn't realize that's what synecdoche meant.

Adds some depth to the title of the movie "Synecdoche, New York"


I'm not sure depth is the thing that movie lacks. But tack on some more, sure, why not?


Thanks, that's the word I (and probably the author) was looking for.
