LITERAL | CAUSER | fly | A fly now buzzes about, urging on the horses and supervising the progress of the coach, then complains that all the work has been left to it alone. | La Fontaine's Fables expands the scenario with his treatment of "La coche et la mouche" (VII.9), where the emphasis shifts wholly to the insect. | Six horses strain to pull a stage-coach up a sandy hill and all the passengers are obliged to get out. | The fabulist comments,Thus certain people, with important air, Meddle with business they know nought about: Seem to be wanted everywhere, And everywhere they ought to be turned out. | This version of the fable has twice been set to music: as the fifth piece in Benjamin Godard's Six Fables de La Fontaine (op. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Impertinent%20Insect | The Impertinent Insect |
LITERAL | CAUSER | notes | A foot pedal lowers the bar and allows notes to ring freely; releasing the pedal engages the damper and stops any vibrating notes. | In 1927, the J.C. Deagan company introduced a pedal mechanism that has not changed substantially since. | A rigid bar beneath the center of the instrument is pressed upward by an adjustable spring and engages a long felt pad against the sharps and the naturals. | One common flaw of this damping mechanism is that the bar is often supported at one point in the middle, causing it to damp the instrument unevenly in the upper and lower registers. | To combat this, some manufacturers have made silicone- or liquid-filled damper pads whose fluid shape can conform evenly around the bars. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibraphone | Vibraphone |
LITERAL | CAUSER | group | A group of Congregational students at Yale College heard about his plans and headed westward to establish the new school. | The town grew at a rapid rate, and a town square was quickly developed. | In 1829, the Presbyterian Reverend John M. Ellis worked to found a new "seminary of learning" in the new state of Illinois. | These students were a part of the famous "Yale Bands," groups of students who established several colleges in the frontier, what is now the Midwest. | Illinois College was one of the first institutions of higher learning in the Midwest. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacksonville%2C%20Illinois | Jacksonville, Illinois |

LITERAL | CAUSER | amplifier | A typical example of linear equipment is a high fidelity audio amplifier, which must amplify a signal without changing its waveform. | Electronics In electronics, the linear operating region of a device, for example a transistor, is where an output dependent variable (such as the transistor collector current) is directly proportional to an input dependent variable (such as the base current). | This ensures that an analog output is an accurate representation of an input, typically with higher amplitude (amplified). | Others are linear filters, and linear amplifiers in general. | In most scientific and technological, as distinct from mathematical, applications, something may be described as linear if the characteristic is approximately but not exactly a straight line; and linearity may be valid only within a certain operating region—for example, a high-fidelity amplifier may distort a small signal, but sufficiently little to be acceptable (acceptable but imperfect linearity); and may distort very badly if the input exceeds a certain value. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linearity | Linearity |

LITERAL | CAUSER | guitar | Among its notable features, "Train Kept A'Rollin'" displayed a ground-breaking fuzzed guitar. | The Rough Guide Music USA indicates the band is best known for their rendition of this song. | In Billy Poore's Rockabilly: A Forty-Year Journey, he describes the single "Train Kept A'Rollin'", backed with "Honey Hush", as "two of the best all-time rockabilly cuts ever", "what pure, scorching, unrestrained rockabilly music should sound like". | This resulted from an accident, when a valve in the amplifier of the guitarist Paul Burlison came loose before a gig in Philadelphia. | The distorted sound that resulted proved so popular that Burlison intentionally repeated it in future performance. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny%20Burnette%20and%20the%20Rock%20%27n%20Roll%20Trio | Johnny Burnette and the Rock 'n Roll Trio |
LITERAL | CAUSER | clock | Among the gifts the Rocket received was an alarm clock, which would continually sound unchecked, due to Richard's inability to turn the alarm off. | A Farewell to the Rocket The 14th game was the first all-star game that did not have Maurice "Rocket" Richard in the lineup, as he had retired after winning the Stanley Cup a year ago. | The pre-game events both honored the all-stars, as was the norm, but was also a celebration of the Rocket's career. | Replacing the Rocket in the Habs' lineup was Bill Hicke, who played alongside Richard's old linemates, Dickie Moore and younger brother Henri Richard. | Other no-shows in this all-star game was Ab McDonald, who was traded to the Chicago Black Hawks, as well as Dean Prentice and Phil Goyette, who were both out with an injury. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/14th%20National%20Hockey%20League%20All-Star%20Game | 14th National Hockey League All-Star Game |
LITERAL | CAUSER | world | Among those myths is Ragnarök, in which the Norse gods, the Æsir, are defeated by the giants, and the world is drowned. | This redemption might or might not be available, however, to pre-Christian pagans, even if, like Aragorn, they were clearly virtuous. | Tolkien shared his pessimistic outlook with Norse mythology, in which he was an expert. | Shippey writes that the heroic Norse response to such a gloomy picture was defiance, a pagan Northern courage, appearing in The Lord of the Rings as a consistent good cheer, a willingness to keep going and to keep smiling, even in the face of apparent disaster. | Fading of an imagined prehistory The Tolkien scholar Marjorie Burns notes in Mythlore that the "sense of inevitable disintegration" in The Lord of the Rings is borrowed from the Nordic world view which emphasises "imminent or threatening destruction". | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline%20and%20fall%20in%20Middle-earth | Decline and fall in Middle-earth |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | flute | An alto flute is briefly heard in The Beatles song "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away", played by John Scott. | Several modal jazz and avant-garde jazz performers have utilized the flute including Eric Dolphy, Sam Rivers and James Spaulding. | Jethro Tull is probably the best-known rock group to make regular use of the flute, which is played by its frontman, Ian Anderson. | The Beatles would later feature a flute more prominently in their single "Penny Lane". | Other groups that have used the flute in pop and rock songs include The Moody Blues, Chicago, Australian groups Men at Work and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, the Canadian progressive rock group Harmonium, Dutch bands Focus and early Golden Earring, and the British groups Traffic, Genesis, Gong (although its flautist/saxophonist Didier Malherbe was French), Hawkwind, King Crimson, Camel, and Van der Graaf Generator. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western%20concert%20flute | Western concert flute |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | ambulance | An ambulance being dispatched by the outside (non-FDNY) agency is heard. | The Commission report says the North Tower lobby command may not have worked because of a technical problem, the volume control turned all the way down, or because a button that must be pressed to enable it had not been pushed. | On the audio track, an outside agency, possibly in New Jersey and using a repeater, comes through the receive audio on the Port Authority Repeater 7 system. | This may be what the FDNY had described as interference caused when the repeater was left enabled at all times. | The distant user appears to be repeated through the system, (possibly on the same CTCSS tone as was configured in Repeater 7). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication%20during%20the%20September%2011%20attacks | Communication during the September 11 attacks |
LITERAL | CAUSER | amplifier | An audio amplifier amplifies audio frequencies. | A narrowband amp amplifies a specific narrow range of frequencies, to the exclusion of other frequencies. | An RF amplifier amplifies signals in the radio frequency range of the electromagnetic spectrum, and is often used to increase the sensitivity of a receiver or the output power of a transmitter. | This category subdivides into small signal amplification, and power amps that are optimised to driving speakers, sometimes with multiple amps grouped together as separate or bridgeable channels to accommodate different audio reproduction requirements. | Frequently used terms within audio amplifiers include: Preamplifier (preamp.), | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplifier | Amplifier |
LITERAL | CAUSER | speaker | An elderly Irish-speaker (Kelly) at the end of the bar listens in awe at the Asian man speaking his language fluently, invites him for a drink, and explains the misunderstanding. | Yu Ming then heads to a bar in order to seek work and again his Irish lets him down. | He asks the barman, "Tá mé ag lorg obair" ("I am looking for work") and the barman stares blankly at him, not understanding a word. | Yu Ming is later shown working as a bartender in the Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking) area of Connemara. | A phrase that recurs throughout the film is "An bhfuil tusa ag labhairt liomsa?"
