There are
two guys who talk about the name of cigarettes brend:silk cut.They wonder about
the reason of that strange name.One of them suggests that the name word
"silk"may indicate the pleasure of the smoke in the mouth.More over,this word
may represent the tendernessof the femminin sexual organ.In addition to this
the guy indicates the differences between the metaphor and metonomy:the
metaphor is the substitution of an object with another which is its
representative. Metonomy is represented by contiguity: it substitutes the thing
with its cause or effect.
