English Language & Usage Asked on July 2, 2021
apple: a round fruit with firm, white flesh and a green, red, or yellow skin.
If I use ‘apple’ as ‘a round fruit with firm, white animal flesh and a green, red, or yellow animal skin,’ is it grammatically and semantically right at least in imagination but not idiomatic?
I wonder because I want to use anthropomorphism, and it needs not only to be like animals, but also to be an animal, so I want to use this word in a unusual sense.
If you define an apple to be an animal, that is allowable in a cartoon or a story for example. However in that case there is no need to specify "animal flesh" because all animals have animal flesh!
What you should say is:
apple: a round animal with firm, white flesh and a green, red, or yellow skin.
