I think you mean figure of speech but I might be wrong but I will tell you what a figure of speech is...

A figure of speech is a word or phrase that has a different meaning from its literal meaning.

for e.g. Similes, metaphors, personification, hyperbole (Exaggeration) etc are examples.

Hope this helps! <span />

Mice21 [21]
1. It was the past. Perhaps they were younger when they were on social media.
2. It is none of their business. Whatever goes on in their social/private life shouldn’t affect them.
