It's actually pronounced, sinus-douche.

@groove1971 What a moronic comment! Yeah, that's why people don't want to see a film. Your level of stupidity is astounding. Fearful they'll pronounce it incorrectly?! What the hell are you talking about?

@DaveDFFA So you looked at wikipedia for the definition too!

[EvanEqualsAwesome]

How I (roughly) remember it:

Select-a-key, but Select is changed to Senect

Synecdoche means a part of a whole used to describe that whole.

Example: When people ask for a band-aid, they usually don't need the exact band-aid brand of bandages. They are using one brand to describe all bandages.

You can select one key to describe the whole piano

This was why the film flopped! Don't title a film with an unpronounceable name! people will not recommend for fear that they will pronounce it wrong! Stupid producers!

@TubelsTube Dumbass. Don't talk about what you don't know. Schenectady isn't even close to Synecdoche, and Synecdoche - meaning "simultaneous understanding") is a figure of speech[1] in which a term is used in one of the following ways:

Part of something is used to refer to the whole thing (Pars pro toto), or

A thing (a "whole") is used to refer to part of it (Totum pro parte), or

A specific class of thing is used to refer to a larger, more general class, etc. It supports the concept of the film
