             in his frequent, long, and tedious speeches, it has
             been said that a trope never passed his lips.

   note: tropes are chiefly of four kinds: metaphor, metonymy,
         synecdoche, and irony. some authors make figures the
         genus, of which trope is a species; others make them
         different things, defining trope to be a change of
         sense, and figure to be any ornament, except what
         becomes so by such change.
