Labels: idiomatic Example: There's plenty of time for dating later on—look at Janet Reno. Okay, don’t look at Janet Reno.

Example: The poem, as you see it, is like the society of the People of the Kilikang before the missionaries arrived, as I read them. That’s how you see it. But to see it that way you had to play some tricks on yourself. You had to ignore this and exaggerate that, overlook this and look beyond that, take it that a cigar is just a cigar here but that a stovepipe hat is a symbol there, rearrange widely distributed elements into a mosaic of your own aspect, for no verbal form is a ball bearing; there are always loose ends and parts that do not quite fit.
