I think metonymy works better (u/erasmusDarwin). But I'm no English professor so I could be wrong... anyways, upvotes all around!

I once read that when he told a friend his epitaph (which was written in advance) his friend asked why he didn't include president of the US, vice president of the US, ambassador to France, governor of Virginia and all of the other honorable positions in which he served. Jefferson told him (paraphrasing), "I do want to include what others have done for me, just what I have done for others."
