Answer: The figure of speech used is synecdoche. Synecdoche is used when you want to use a part of something instead of a whole. In this text, the mouth is used as a substitute instead of pertaining to the whole person.

__________________________________

Synecdoche

  • It is a part of speech that is uses a part of something to signify the whole.
  • It is different from metonymy though they are sometimes mistaken to be the same. Metonymy totally replaces the word while synecdoche takes only a part of a whole.

Example:

"We're going to the party so you better bring your wheels."

  • In this sentence, the word wheel is used instead of the word car. A wheel is a part of a car.
