A figure of speech is a word or phrase that insinuates more than the literal meaning. It can come in many forms such as a metaphor or alliteration. An example of a figure of speech as a metaphor would be "I have butterflies in my stomach". An example of an alliteration would be "Blue baby bonnets".

Personification
The term "synecdoche" is a type of figure of speech. It can mean to use a word for a part as a whole, or an item as a substitute for an entire group, or to represent an object by its function. This is reflected by many idiomatic uses of words. Examples: His ride was still in the shop. (car) Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed. Tuxedos and ball gowns filled the room.
