    spouts

    not sure if usage I’ve never heard, or typo, or boneappletea for “bouts”

      Think my brain just fabricated that use by mistake. Maybe a mix of spout as in a faucet, being a stream or leak, combined with what I assume my brain meant as a spurt as in short term. Short term leaky faucet of depression. < My brain is just falling apart

      boneappletea

      That’s a really nice example to use as a terminology.

      Is there a name for this practice? Of taking an example of something and making it the name of the genre? I found one - “Eponymous Representation”, but it is not precise enough.
