 * It does have figurative use ("dreams reduced to rubble"), where "rubble" alone generally doesn't (?). Equinox ◑ 13:07, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * ”Rubble” does not need to be understood strictly materially. It is even covered by our definition of it “the broken remains of an object” when broken is taken figuratively. Figurative senses otherwise are often left out. SOP. Fay Freak (talk) 13:50, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * "turn to rubble" can also be used figuratively ("The social, political, and economic system of the whole country had turned to rubble"), as well as "pile of rubble" ("my life is a pile of rubble"). PUC – 14:04, 10 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Yes, PUC, I didn't write an explicit "keep": this was just an observation. Equinox ◑ 01:48, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
