Talk:kenning

Etymology 3 usex
I removed the usex from the etymology 3 entry. It gave as a modern example of a kenning, which, while linguistically sound, was unhelpful and unnecessarily provocative. The "examples" box that includes whale road etc. should be sufficient for aiding readers' practical understanding of this term. But if a modern example would be helpful, I'd suggest (snake),  (raccoon), or sea pancake (stingray). Those would illustrate this concept in an accessible way without having to rely upon a derogatory term that is likely to be poorly-received by many readers.
