So what the hell does Synecdoche mean? Well, it's a figure of speech where you can use only a part of the phrase to describe the entire thing. Or vice versa.

Confused? Well, don't expect Charlie Kaufman, the man behind Being John Malkovich, Adaptation and Eternal Sunshine Of A Spotless Mind to make things easy for you.

Whatever, it's Kaufman, man.
