Figures of speech (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

idioms

tropes

'figures of speech' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tropes that I've seen before include "Figures of speech, figurative usages of words" , "Poster for figures of speech" , "Figures of speech - pest or what?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the King Feature Syndicate, the LA Times and the Universal.
