LITERAL | CAUSER | alarm | In another version of the story, Odysseus arranged for a trumpet alarm to be sounded while he was with Lycomedes' women. | Odysseus went to Skyros in the guise of a peddler selling women's clothes and jewellery and placed a shield and spear among his goods. | When Achilles instantly took up the spear, Odysseus saw through his disguise and convinced him to join the Greek campaign. | While the women fled in panic, Achilles prepared to defend the court, thus giving his identity away. | In the Trojan War According to the Iliad, Achilles arrived at Troy with 50 ships, each carrying 50 Myrmidons. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achilles | Achilles |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | loudspeaker | In April 2021, Jordan condemned Israel for raiding the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem and silencing the minaret's loudspeaker. | Israel accused Jordan of doing this deliberately as a response to a dispute over Israeli entry permits for Jordanian Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah's security detail for a trip to the Al-Aqsa mosque. | Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi accused Israel of breaching agreed terms of the trip to Al-Aqsa and accused Netanyahu of "toying with the region and its peoples' right to live in peace for the sake of electoral and populist concerns" and "destroying the trust which is the basis for ending the conflict". | However, on 8 July of that year, reports surfaced that Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett met with King Abdullah II of Jordan in what was said to be a "very positive" atmosphere. | The report, leaked by an anonymous former Israeli official, said that Bennett and King Abdullah agreed to open a "new page" in relations, after the strained relations of the past years. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel%E2%80%93Jordan%20relations | Israel–Jordan relations |
LITERAL | CAUSER | crowd | In April, during the 2010 Kyrgyzstani uprising, police attempted to use stun grenades to stop a demonstration but the crowd overwhelmed the police. | A stun grenade was apparently used by members of the IHH against the IDF soldiers during the Gaza flotilla raid at the beginning of the IDF storming of the Mavi Marmara. | In June 2010, in Kenya, a stun grenade was used to draw attention, and then a real grenade along with an explosive package were used, killing many people. | In March stun grenades were used by Belarusian police in Minsk against demonstrators, and in September they were used by Greek police in Athens. | In these latter two cases, the demonstrations were dispersed with no injuries. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-lethal%20weapon | Non-lethal weapon |
LITERAL | CAUSER | beef | In Armenian cuisine fenugreek seed powder is used to make a paste that is an important ingredient to cover dried and cured beef to make basturma (բաստուրմա). | They are often roasted to reduce inherent bitterness and to enhance flavour. | Cooking Fresh fenugreek leaves are an ingredient in some curries, such as with potatoes in cuisines of the Indian subcontinent to make "aloo methi" ("potato fenugreek") curry. | In Iranian cuisine, fenugreek leaves are called shanbalileh. | They are one of several greens incorporated into the herb stew ghormeh sabzi, the herb frittata kuku sabzi and a soup known as eshkeneh. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenugreek | Fenugreek |
LITERAL | CAUSER | set | In August, the group—now itself dubbed Mountain—played an hour-long set at the Woodstock Festival, exposing the crowd of 300,000 people to the emerging sound of heavy metal. | In July, Zeppelin and a power trio with a Cream-inspired, but cruder sound, Grand Funk Railroad, played the Atlanta Pop Festival. | That same month, another Cream-rooted trio led by Leslie West released Mountain, an album filled with heavy blues rock guitar and roaring vocals. | Mountain's proto-metal or early heavy metal hit song "Mississippi Queen" from the album Climbing! | is especially credited with paving the way for heavy metal and was one of the first heavy guitar songs to receive regular play on radio. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy%20metal%20music | Heavy metal music |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | pianist | In 'Autumn in New York', we clearly hear a dramatic, playful pianist who was fast becoming an extraordinary talent." | Another exception to Powell being in a supporting role is his extended introductory section to a 1954 Hodges recording of "Autumn in New York". | On this track, in the words of critic Marc Myers six decades later, Powell's playing was "regal, bouncy and appropriately lush, with shades of Erroll Garner, Al Haig and Richie's brother, Bud. [...] | Influence Pianist McCoy Tyner, who grew up close to the Powell brothers in Philadelphia, was influenced by their relatively heavy keyboard touch and their liking of percussive piano sounds. | Tyner also got some of his inspiration for chord voicings from hearing Richie's use of left-hand fourths. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richie%20Powell | Richie Powell |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | violin | In bars 1-10, "the violin and piano echo one another's motifs", emphasising the contrast between their sounds. | The opening bars of Beethoven's Sonata for Violin and Piano, Op. | 96 demonstrate how both contrast and blend of timbres work when composing for instruments. | However, in the passage that follows (bars 11-20), the two instruments blend exquisitely as they "dovetail their efforts in long, soaring, arpeggiated lines in parallel motion". | Here, the violin line is "sandwiched" between the two piano lines.

LITERAL | CAUSER | shower | In Burma, the 1885 shower was perceived as a fateful omen and was indeed followed swiftly by the collapse of the Konbaung dynasty and the conquest by Britain. | Schmidt, observing from Athens, said that the 1872 shower consisted mainly of faint (5th to 6th magnitude) meteors with "broad and smoke-like" trains and a predominantly orange or reddish colouration. | In England, Lowe estimated the same shower as producing at least 58,600 visible meteors between 5.50 and 10.30 pm, observed that the meteors were much slower than the Leonids, and noted noises "like very distant gun-shots" several times to the north-west. | The November 27, 1885, shower was the occasion of the first known photograph of a meteor, taken by Austro-Hungarian astronomer, Ladislaus Weinek, who caught a 7mm-long trail on a plate at his Prague observing station. | Current activity Since the 19th century the Andromedids have faded so substantially that they are no longer generally visible to the naked eye, though some activity is still observable each year in mid-November given suitable detection equipment. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andromedids | Andromedids |
LITERAL | CAUSER | tone | In classical pedagogy, almost all of the focus is on performing with the bow and producing a good bowed tone; there is little work done on developing significant pizzicato skills. | In orchestral repertoire and tango music, both arco and pizzicato are employed. | In jazz, blues, and rockabilly, pizzicato is the norm, except for some solos and occasional written parts in modern jazz that call for bowing. | Bowed notes in the lowest register of the instrument produce a dark, heavy, mighty, or even menacing effect, when played with a fortissimo dynamic; however, the same low pitches played with a delicate pianissimo can create a sonorous, mellow accompaniment line. | Classical bass students learn all of the different bow articulations used by other string section players (e.g., violin and cello), such as détaché, legato, staccato, sforzato, martelé ("hammered"-style), sul ponticello, sul tasto, tremolo, spiccato and sautillé. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double%20bass | Double bass |
LITERAL | CAUSER | amplifier | In contrast, an optical amplifier can amplify all of the wavelengths in a single device and works for all modulation formats. | Also, since one repeater is required for each wavelength, and many tens of wavelengths may be transmitted down a single fiber, a lot of equipment is required for each fiber. | Electrical repeaters are also limited in bandwidth and modulation format. | An amplifier does not provide the regeneration ability of a repeater, but loss, rather than distortion is generally the limiting factor in the design of an optical communications system. | NONE | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical%20communications%20repeater | Optical communications repeater |
LITERAL | CAUSER | instruments | In contrast, the Piano Quartet emphasizes a chamber texture, in which the instruments permeate to form an unified ensemble. | Compared to the far more common piano trio, the addition of a viola in the piano quartet adds density to the texture of the ensemble's middle range, that may result in sharp contrasts between the piano and the strings. | This effect is even more pronounced when another violin is added: in the Piano Quintet, the piano and strings confront each other as distinct musical forces, the strings often presenting a concerto-like accompaniment to the piano. | This is particularly evident in the slow movement. | Form The piece is in four movements, with the usual order of the internal movements reversed: A performance takes around 27 minutes. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano%20Quartet%20%28Schumann%29 | Piano Quartet (Schumann) |
LITERAL | CAUSER | performer | In either case, a keytar needs to be connected to a keyboard amplifier or PA system to produce a sound that the performer and audience can hear. | CEO and co-founder of Tap Tap Strum, Kyle Zimmerman, later came out with the design for the Keytar L8R. The Roland AX-Edge, which incorporates its own synthesis engine, is referred to by the manufacturer as a "keytar". | Keytars may either contain their own synthesizer engines, or be MIDI controllers. | MIDI controller keytars trigger notes and other MIDI data on an external MIDI-capable synthesizer, sound module or computer with synthesizer software. | While keytars are usually used to create musical sounds, like any other MIDI controller, it could also be used to trigger such as MIDI-enabled lighting controllers, effects devices and audio consoles. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keytar | Keytar |
LITERAL | CAUSER | machine | In essence, it could fool the listeners to believe they were hearing a drum machine, only to prove them wrong through out-performing the rather rudimentary sequencing possibilities of the time. | Specifically, he would often play very precise triplet fills and crescendos, especially on the snare drum. | While these two techniques are easily accomplished by electronic instruments today, around 1979–1982 they were virtually impossible. | From a technical perspective, Cann preferred a traditional grip. | On the Quartet album and subsequent tour (1982), Cann employed several sets of Simmons SDS-V electronic percussion pads, even to the point where he had an extra kit consisting of the hexagonal Simmons pads, which he played standing up. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren%20Cann | Warren Cann |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | band | In February 1958, McCartney invited his friend George Harrison, then fifteen, to watch the band. | They briefly called themselves the Blackjacks, before changing their name to the Quarrymen after discovering that another local group were already using the name. | Fifteen-year-old Paul McCartney met Lennon in July 1957, and joined as a rhythm guitarist shortly after. | Harrison auditioned for Lennon, impressing him with his playing, but Lennon initially thought Harrison was too young. | After a month's persistence, during a second meeting (arranged by McCartney), Harrison performed the lead guitar part of the instrumental song "Raunchy" on the upper deck of a Liverpool bus, and they enlisted him as lead guitarist. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Beatles | The Beatles |
LITERAL | CAUSER | speaker | In general, a SLAPP is a defamation or libel suit whose primary purpose is to silence the speaker and intimidate others from engaging in similar speech. | In the introduction to the book's chapter on consumption, Zehner wrote, "So-called food disparagement laws (also known as "veggie libel laws") enable the food industry to sue journalists, writers, and other people who criticize their products, often placing the burden of proof on the defendant...Unlike Winfrey, I do not have the financial resources to defend myself in such a suit, and as a result you and other readers will be cheated out of the whole story," referencing the Texas Beef Group v. Oprah Winfrey case. | Correspondingly, food libel cases have been alleged to be strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPP). | In the specific context of food libel, the implication of the term is that agricultural companies sue under food libel laws in hopes of disincentivizing other potential critics lest they too be subjugated to a costly and inconvenient legal battle, rather than to necessarily win the case and recoup the costs of a damaged reputation. | Complicating matters, twenty-nine states currently have statutes intended to prevent against the filing of SLAPP suits, including nine of the thirteen states with food libel laws. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food%20libel%20laws | Food libel laws |
LITERAL | CAUSER | phone | In general, I think it's not worth it and part of the reason my phone hasn't rung is that that story is pretty well known." | And we were 10 days from shooting, and I said fine. | But I ended up working two-and-a-half years for double my fee, but I could have done two-and-a-half movies, and done movies that were out there making money. | In July 2021, Brian Collins from Screamfest blog did a review and comparison between the final film and both the Craven's original unfinished cut and first reshot version, which were surfaced from VHS workprints, and both versions were praised as superior to the final film. | This is not the first time when news about alternate versions of Cursed existing were reported. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursed%20%282005%20film%29 | Cursed (2005 film) |
LITERAL | CAUSER | tree | In general, the ground-dwelling squirrel species are social, often living in well-developed colonies, while the tree-dwelling species are more solitary. | The young are altricial, being born naked, toothless, and blind. | In most species of squirrel, the female alone looks after the young, which are weaned at six to ten weeks and become sexually mature by the end of their first year. | Ground squirrels and tree squirrels are usually either diurnal or crepuscular, while the flying squirrels tend to be nocturnal—except for lactating flying squirrels and their young, which have a period of diurnality during the summer. | Feeding Because squirrels cannot digest cellulose, they must rely on foods rich in protein, carbohydrates, and fats. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squirrel | Squirrel |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | flute | In her final moments, Sukehime - now a human once more - begs to hear Hiromasa's flute one last time. | Sukehime briefly comes back to her senses when Seimei removes a paper talisman attached to her back, but Dōson doubles his efforts, and she completely transforms into an oni. | When Hiromasa sacrifices himself by allowing her to bite on his arm, Sukehime comes back to her senses once more and kills herself with Hiromasa's tachi. | Seimei shoots an arrow with the paper talisman towards the sky, ordering the curse to go back to its sender. | The arrow, now on fire, lands in Dōson's secret lair, burning it to the ground. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onmy%C5%8Dji%20%28film%29 | Onmyōji (film) |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | musician | In her teens in the 1970s she heard visiting musician Clark Terry. | She specializes in jazz, blues, and world music. | Career Scott grew up in Blueridge, a neighbourhood in the District of North Vancouver; a suburb of the city of Vancouver, BC, Canada She developed an interest in jazz from the choir director at Windsor Secondary school. | She studied jazz at Vancouver Community College and classical music at University of British Columbia. | She has recorded cover versions of pop songs that are unusual to jazz, such as "It's My Party" by Lesley Gore and "Tupelo Honey" by Van Morrison. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennifer%20Scott | Jennifer Scott |
LITERAL | CAUSER | set | In November 2014 the 3D Catalogue live set was played in Paris, France, at the brand new Fondation Louis-Vuitton from 6 to 14 November. | In 2014, Kraftwerk brought their four-night, 3D Catalogue tour to the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, and at NYC's United Palace Theatre. | They also played at the Cirkus in Stockholm, Sweden and at the music festival Summer Sonic in Tokyo, Japan. | and then in the iconic Paradiso concert hall in Amsterdam, Netherlands, where they played before in 1976. | In 2015, Ralf Hütter, being told that the Tour de France would be starting that year in the nearby Dutch city of Utrecht, decided that Kraftwerk would perform during the "Grand Depart". | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kraftwerk | Kraftwerk |
LITERAL | CAUSER | bird | In one case, a flying adult bird was heard uttering hoarse croaks, apparently as a sign of aggression at a nearby marabou stork (Leptoptilos crumeniferus). | Both nestlings and adults engage in bill-clattering during the nesting season as a means of communication. | When young are begging for food, they call out with a sound uncannily like human hiccups. | Diet Shoebills feed predominantly on aquatic prey such as lungfish, bichirs, tilapia, and water snakes. | Status and conservation The population is estimated at between and individuals, the majority of which live in swamps in South Sudan, Uganda, eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Zambia. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoebill | Shoebill |
LITERAL | CAUSER | group | In one incident, the IRA group was heard to scream, "May the Lord have mercy on your souls", before opening fire. | This sparked a "pogrom" against the Catholic residents of the town. | On Bloody Sunday, Collins' men set out to assassinate members of a British army intelligence group known as the Cairo Gang, killing or fatally wounding fifteen men, some of whom were unconnected to the Gang. | Collins later said of the incident, My one intention was the destruction of the undesirables who continued to make miserable the lives of ordinary decent citizens. | I have proof enough to assure myself of the atrocities which this gang of spies and informers have committed. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death%20squad | Death squad |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | horn | In other cases, pilots cannot hear the horn on older aircraft due to wearing a modern noise-canceling headset. | However, the horn has been useless in situations when the pilot was unfamiliar with the aircraft and did not know what the horn sounding was meant to indicate. | Pilots have sometimes confused the landing gear warning horn with the stall warning horn. | In larger aircraft, the warning system usually excludes the engine power setting and instead warns the pilot when the flaps are set for landing but the landing gear is not. | An alternative system uses the ground proximity warning system or radar altimeter to engage a warning when the airplane is close to the ground and descending with the gear not down. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belly%20landing | Belly landing |
LITERAL | CAUSER | string | In reality, no power amplification occurs, because all of the energy to produce sound comes from the vibrating string. | The correct technical explanation is that they allow a better match to the acoustic impedance of the air. | It is sometimes said that the sounding board or soundbox "amplifies" the sound of the strings. | The mechanism is that the sounding board of the instrument provides a larger surface area to create sound waves than that of the string and therefore acts as a matching element between the acoustic impedance of the string and that of the surrounding air. | A larger vibrating surface can sometimes produce better matching; especially at lower frequencies. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String%20instrument | String instrument |
LITERAL | CAUSER | string | In recorders, as in all woodwind instruments, the air column inside the instrument behaves like a vibrating string, to use a musical analogy, and has multiple modes of vibration. | The air stream alternately travels above and below the labium, exciting standing waves in the bore of the recorder, and producing sound waves that emanate away from the window. | Feedback from the resonance of the tube regulates the pitch of the sound. | These waves produced inside the instrument are not travelling waves, like those the ear perceives as sound, but rather stationary standing waves consisting of areas of high pressure and low pressure inside the tube, called nodes. | The perceived pitch is the lowest, and typically loudest, mode of vibration in the air column. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recorder%20%28musical%20instrument%29 | Recorder (musical instrument) |
LITERAL | CAUSER | pistol | In response, picking up the discarded pistol, Manu shoots him in the head. | Manu then returns to her brother's house, and does not tell him what has happened, but noticing bruises on her neck, he realizes. | He gets out a gun and asks Manu who was responsible, but when she refuses to tell him, he calls her a "slut" and implies that she actually enjoyed being raped. | Meanwhile, Nadine returns home and has an argument with her roommate, whom she strangles and kills, before leaving with their rent money. | Nadine suffers another emotional setback when she meets her best friend, a drug dealer, in another town, but he is shot and killed while out obtaining drugs with a prescription she forged for him. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baise-moi | Baise-moi |
LITERAL | CAUSER | musician | In that same interview, Young said he was influenced by "the great studio drummers of the 1970s and to some degree, every musician that I've ever heard or seen." | Magazine 2006 Readers' Poll, Young is known for his versatile drumming style. | In a 2007 profile in Modern Drummer, Young said, "The cool thing about Fountains of Wayne is that we do a whole lot of different stylistic stuff." | Post-Fountains Work In 2012, Young replaced Loz Colbert in the Scottish alternative rock band, Jesus and Mary Chain, which had reunited in 2007. | He has toured extensively with the band, including a world tour marking the 30th anniversary of their album Psychocandy. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian%20Young%20%28drummer%29 | Brian Young (drummer) |
LITERAL | CAUSER | river | In the 19th century, the river was perceived by unionists as a symbol of discord between Wallachia and Moldavia—see "Hora Unirii", a poem by Vasile Alecsandri. | Due to floods, however, the riverbed moved a few kilometers away, south of the city. | In 1482, Stephen the Great declared Milcov as the boundary between Wallachia and Moldavia. | The Milcov border was dispensed with in 1859, when Wallachia and Moldavia united to form the United Principalities. | Tributaries The following rivers are tributaries to the river Milcov (from source to mouth): Left: Reghiu, Milcovel, Arva Right: Groza, Valea Rea, Valea Seacă, Pietroasa, Dălhăuți, Dâlgov Gallery References Rivers of Romania Rivers of Vrancea County | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milcov%20%28Siret%29 | Milcov (Siret) |
LITERAL | CAUSER | echo | In the bridge section, following the opening line: "I wanna be high, so high", an electronic feedback sound, which reverberates an echo, is heard. | Rather than being depressed about the break-up, he states that he is instead "easy like Sunday morning"—something that Richie described as evocative of "small Southern towns that die at 11:30pm" on a Saturday night, such as his hometown Tuskegee, Alabama. | The song is written in the key of A ♭ major and modulates up a semitone to A major. | An electric guitar solo is heard in the instrumental section of the song. | The re-recorded version is on Lionel Richie's album Tuskegee which features country singer Willie Nelson. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easy%20%28Commodores%20song%29 | Easy (Commodores song) |
LITERAL | CAUSER | instrument | In the case of cartilage piercing, doing it with an ear piercing instrument can shatter the ear cartilage and lead to serious complications. | Piercing with this method, especially for cartilage piercings, is not recommended by many piercing professionals and physicians, as it can cause blunt force trauma to the skin, and takes far longer to heal than needle piercing. | In addition, the vast majority of ear piercing instruments are made of plastic, which means they can never be truly sterilized by use of an Autoclave, increasing chance of infection exponentially. | An alternative which is growing in practice is the use of a hollow piercing needle, as is done in body piercing. | The piercer disinfects the earlobe with alcohol and puts a mark on the lobe with a pen. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earring | Earring |
LITERAL | CAUSER | tree | In the commercials, the Keebler tree logo is often turned into the tree in which the elves reside. | Ernie is the head elf and the friendliest of the bunch. | The elves have appeared in countless television advertisements throughout the years, shown baking their unique products. | Leo Burnett Worldwide, an advertising agency, created the elves in 1968, calling the bakery "The Hollow Tree Factory." | J.J. Keebler was the original "king elf" in 1969, and was featured in a classroom film about how animated commercials are made, "Show and Sell", with J.J.'s voice performed by Alan Reed, Sr. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keebler%20Company | Keebler Company |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | train | In the distance, Dave hears a train, which he approaches and hops in the hopes that this will at last prove he is indeed a man. | He decides to leave his house and retrieve the gun in which he had buried, not thrown in a river like he claimed. | He forces himself to fire the gun with his eyes open until he empties it. | Characters Dave Saunders (protagonist): Dave Saunders, a young African American male, works the duration of his summer vacation plowing fields on a plantation. | Trapped in the years of adolescence, Dave has a hard time convincing those around him that they should view and treat him as a man instead of a boy. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Man%20Who%20Was%20Almost%20a%20Man | The Man Who Was Almost a Man |
LITERAL | CAUSER | machine | In the garage office, Mitch Larsen (Michelle Forbes) hears an answering machine from Janek Kovarsky. | Richmond (Billy Campbell) considers his business with Drexler closed and tells Wright to attend instead. | Later, outside, Mayor Adams hands Gwen Eaton (Kristin Lehman), Richmond's assistant, an envelope, out of friendship to her family. | She asks Belko (Brendan Sexton III) if Stan is working for Janek again. | He does not answer her and she fires him. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beau%20Soleil%20%28The%20Killing%29 | Beau Soleil (The Killing) |
LITERAL | CAUSER | tone | In the hands of a lesser player, the Heckel bassoon can sound flat and woody, but good players succeed in producing a vibrant, singing tone. | This sound has been utilised effectively in writing for Buffet bassoon, but is less inclined to blend than the tone of the Heckel bassoon. | As with all bassoons, the tone varies considerably, depending on individual instrument, reed, and performer. | Conversely, a poorly played Buffet can sound buzzy and nasal, but good players succeed in producing a warm, expressive sound. | Though the United Kingdom once favored the French system, Buffet-system instruments are no longer made there and the last prominent British player of the French system retired in the 1980s. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bassoon | Bassoon |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | orchestra | In the parody, the orchestra is overwhelmed by the malfunctioning bubble machine and the entire Aragon Ballroom eventually floats out to sea. | To faithfully replicate Welk's sound, May and some of Hollywood's finest studio musicians and vocalists worked to clone Welk's live on-air style, carefully incorporating bad notes and mistimed cues. | Billy Liebert, a first-rate accordionist, copied Welk's accordion playing. | When he met Freberg, Welk denied he had ever said "Wunnerful, Wunnerful!" | and objected to the ending, futilely asking to have the orchestra rescued. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan%20Freberg | Stan Freberg |
LITERAL | CAUSER | precipitation | In the picture, it is possible to detect precipitation in the background just above the horizon below the main cloud. | The bases of the clouds making the flanking line are merged. | The forefront area usually has no precipitation. | Formation of the flanking line The flanking line is generated by the downburst that builds a cold air wedge beneath the warmer airmass in front of the thunderstorm. | This warm air is forced upward and generates cumuliform clouds when the air column becomes saturated. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flanking%20line%20%28meteorology%29 | Flanking line (meteorology) |
LITERAL | CAUSER | alarm | In the Season 10 episode "Thanksgiving", during Quahog's annual Thanksgiving parade, Tom Tucker mentions the Rocky and Bullwinkle float while a car alarm interrupts his news reporting. | In the episode "The Kiss Seen Around the World", a cutaway shows that Peter and Brian travel back in time to meet Christopher Columbus in 1492, which parodied the segment "Peabody's Improbable History". | In the Season 7 episode "Stew-Roids", after Stewie's steroids injection wears off and leaves him with large arm-flaps of loose skin, he jumps out the bedroom window and flies like Rocky, landing on a mailbox with Rocky's quote, "And now here's something we hope you'll really like." | In True Lies, Harry Tasker (Arnold Schwarzenegger) convinces Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis) that she was going to be a spy and her contact's name would be Boris. | He went on to say that her name would be, and she interrupts to say "Natasha?" | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Adventures%20of%20Rocky%20and%20Bullwinkle%20and%20Friends | The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends |
LITERAL | CAUSER | animal | In the United States, the term "service animal" encompasses all three of the above types (guide dog, hearing animal, service dog). | In other countries, such as the United States and some European countries, legislation assists in making access to public facilities easier for disabled persons with a service animal. | Definitions The international assistance animal community has categorized three types of assistance animals: Guide animals, which guide the blind; Hearing animals, which signal the hearing impaired; and Service animals, which do work for persons with disabilities other than blindness or deafness. | Additionally, the Air Carrier Access Act breaks down the term service animal into emotional support animals, which includes psychiatric service animals, and other service animals. | Airlines are permitted to require different and more extensive documentation for ESAs than for other service animals. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service%20animal | Service animal |
LITERAL | CAUSER | onlookers | In the verses immediately following this saying, in both gospels, the onlookers who hear Jesus' cry mistakenly believe him to be calling for help from Elijah. | These differences are most probably due to dialect. | Matthew's version seems to have been more influenced by Hebrew, whereas Mark's is perhaps more colloquial. | This saying is taken by some as an abandonment of the Son by the Father. | Another interpretation holds that at the moment when Jesus took upon himself the sins of humanity, the Father had to turn away from the Son because the Father is "of purer eyes than to see evil and cannot look at wrong" (ESV). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sayings%20of%20Jesus%20on%20the%20cross | Sayings of Jesus on the cross |
LITERAL | CAUSER | artist | In this case it would depend on whether the work was likely to have been intended by the artist to be perceived as a portrait—sometimes a subjective question. | One common definition of a genre scene is that it shows figures to whom no identity can be attached either individually or collectively—thus distinguishing petit genre from history paintings (also called grand genre) and portraits. | A work would often be considered as a genre work even if it could be shown that the artist had used a known person—a member of his family, say—as a model. | The depictions can be realistic, imagined, or romanticized by the artist. | Because of their familiar and frequently sentimental subject matter, genre paintings have often proven popular with the bourgeoisie, or middle class. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genre%20art | Genre art |
LITERAL | CAUSER | animal | In this case, a child might remove 'wolf' from their extension of 'dog' upon hearing an animal labeled a 'wolf.' | This is called the disambiguation effect. | Next, the bias might cause an infant to change the extension of a familiar word. | This can be called the correction effect. | As well, the bias might compel an infant to reject a new word, for instance, rejecting 'wolf' in favor of 'dog.' | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual%20exclusivity%20%28psychology%29 | Mutual exclusivity (psychology) |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | vehicles | In this case, the noisy nature of the surface is an advantage as pedestrians can hear approaching vehicles. | Many older villages and cities in Europe are still paved with cobblestones or pitched. | In recent decades, cobblestones have become a popular material for paving newly pedestrianised streets in Europe. | The visual cues of the cobblestones also clarify that the area is more than just a normal street. | The use of cobblestones/setts is also considered to be a more "upmarket" roadway solution, having been described as "unique and artistic" compared to the normal asphalt road environment. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobblestone | Cobblestone |
LITERAL | CAUSER | beast | In those years, the legend of the "Beast of Moustos" was created, a beast whose roar could be heard sounded during the night up until the mountains. | The first canal was opened by the Bavarian architect, thus it is still called "Bavarian" to this day. | At the beginning of the 20th century fish were abundant and the fishing rights were given to its tenants. | The lake today Integrated into the Natura 2000 European Network, this wetland of Cynuria has been designated as a protected area, as it is a refuge for a significant population of migratory birds that overwinter there (wild swans, herons, mallards, Eurasian coots). | Its dense reeds nest: falcons, purple herons and a small number of endangered black-winged stilts. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moustos%20wetland | Moustos wetland |
LITERAL | CAUSER | owl | In Trinidad and Tobago, the jumbie bird is the common name of the ferruginous pygmy owl, a small owl that is often heard but rarely seen. | Themes The book explores the transformation of "East Indians" into Indo-Trinidadians. | According to University of San Diego scholar Atreyee Phukan, Khan used the "language and vocabulary of Afro-Caribbean mythology" as it depicts the "cultural hybridization" of the Muslim Pathan minority. | In folklore it is seen as a harbinger of death. | Khan expands on these beliefs to endow the bird with "more extensive powers befitting a deity". | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Jumbie%20Bird | The Jumbie Bird |
LITERAL | CAUSER | speaker | Indirect quotations are simply paraphrases of something that a reporting speaker heard. | Instead, direct quotations convey the approximative meaning of such an utterance along with the way in which that utterance was produced. | From a sociolinguistic perspective, a direct quotation in spoken discourse can therefore also be defined as "a performance whereby speakers re-enact previous behaviour (speech/thought/sound/voice effect and gesture) while assuming the dramatic role of the original source of this reported behaviour". | Reasons for using Quotations are employed in spoken discourse for many reasons. | They are often used by speakers to depict stories and events that have occurred in the past to other interlocutors. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation | Quotation |
LITERAL | CAUSER | tone | Inexpensive student bows may be constructed of solid fiberglass, which makes the bow much lighter than a wooden bow (even too light to produce a good tone, in some cases). | In general, a bass bow is shorter and heavier than a cello bow. | Pernambuco, also known as Brazilwood, is regarded as an excellent quality stick material, but due to its scarcity and expense, other materials are increasingly being used. | Student bows may also be made of the less valuable varieties of brazilwood. | Snakewood and carbon fiber are also used in bows of a variety of different qualities. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double%20bass | Double bass |
METONYMIC | CAUSER | clock | InfluenceFleance's line "The moon is down, I have not heard the clock" was the inspiration for the title of John Steinbeck's 1942 short novel The Moon is Down. | He also appears a bit more often, mainly in the scenes of Act V, where he sneaks on board a truck full of timber and witnesses the death of Macbeth before killing the maid and being directed home by Macduff. | In Joel Coen's 2021 film, Fleance (Lucas Barker) is retrieved from the Old Man (Kathryn Hunter) by (the more prominent than usual) character of Ross (Alex Hassell), who has played an ambiguous role throughout the film. | Fleance's line foreshadows the evil encompassing the kingdom. | The book was published just as the United States entered World War II and signalled the threat of the Axis powers by outlining the events in a European town occupied by foreign powers. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleance | Fleance |
LITERAL | CAUSER | musician | Influences and musical style Van Etten cites Ani DiFranco as a key influence, saying, "She was the first musician I had ever heard whose songs were super confessional. | Olsen and Van Etten appear in the music video with their hair styled in similar shag haircuts. | In 2021 the artist was inter alia part of the Newport Folk Festival in July. | She could really play guitar...

LITERAL | CAUSER | aircraft | It can be used to detect aircraft, ships, spacecraft, guided missiles, motor vehicles, weather formations, and terrain. | NONE | Radar (radio detection and ranging) is a detection system that uses radio waves to determine the distance (ranging), angle, or velocity of objects. | A radar system consists of a transmitter producing electromagnetic waves in the radio or microwaves domain, a transmitting antenna, a receiving antenna (often the same antenna is used for transmitting and receiving) and a receiver and processor to determine properties of the object(s). | Radio waves (pulsed or continuous) from the transmitter reflect off the object and return to the receiver, giving information about the object's location and speed. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar | Radar |
LITERAL | CAUSER | receiver | It could even have been possible that the receiver themselves could hear the video. | Traits and characteristics of subjects thought to increase the chance of obtaining a successful hit rate in a psi experiment include: Positive belief in psi; ESP Prior psi experiences Practicing a mental discipline such as meditation Creativity Artistic ability Emotional closeness with the sender While there are a number of reasons that researchers avoid special participants and sample only normal populations, these factors are important considerations in future replications of ganzfeld experiment, and may be useful in predicting the outcome of these studies. | Criticism There are several common criticisms of some or all of the ganzfeld experiments: Isolation – Richard Wiseman and others argue that not all of the studies used soundproof rooms, so it is possible that when videos were playing, the experimenter could have heard it, and later given involuntary cues to the receiver during the selection process. | Randomization – When subjects are asked to choose from a variety of selections, there is an inherent bias to choose the first selection they are shown. | If the order in which they are shown the selections is randomized each time, this bias will be averaged out. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganzfeld%20experiment | Ganzfeld experiment |
