Would this include
Cockney rhyming slang? Like (example stolen from the recent movie
Ocean's 11): "We're in Barney" refers to "Barney Rubble" rhymes with "trouble" means "We're in trouble." One of those connections is, perhaps,
Metonymy (name-for-name); I'm not sure the rhyming connection fits any rule of metonymy I know.

Russel Samolsky is the author of a book titled Metaleptic Machines: Kafka, Kabbalah, Shoah.
Kabbalah, for one, is a tree of associations and symbolically connected ideas.

I wonder if "does the Pope shit in the woods?" is a double metalepsis. Maproom ( talk) 10:04, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
You are probably correct. But since we we aren't trying to define 'double metslepsis' with this page, your 'contribution' is off-topic and irrelevant. It is also inappropriate (kids read these pages) and probably offensive (to billion+ Catholics). CalgarHorseman ( talk) 09:49, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

The middle two sections, "In Icelandic literature" and "Other uses", are weak. The first is obscure and specialized and doesn't explain what the metalepsis is. The second is three statements about metalepsis without explanation or examples. 2001:171B:2274:7C21:C4E:70D2:562B:16C3 ( talk) 10:12, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
