==Metaphorical usage== The term wallet is also used [[Syndecdoche|as a synecdoche]] to refer to an individual's overall [[home economics|personal budget]]. One of the definitions of "syndecdoche", by Sasse, uses a wallet reference as an example of the meaning of the term ("an abbreviated speech in which the containing vessel is mentioned instead of its contents"), such as when a person holds up their wallet to a person asking for money, while saying "here is $100".<ref>Robert Kolb, Irene Dingel, and Lubomír Batka. ''The Oxford Handbook of Martin Luther's Theology''. OUP Oxford, 2014. p. 328</ref> A wallet is also used as an example in a definition for the related rhetorical device of [[metonymy]]: "If we cannot strike offenders in the heart, let us strike them in the wallet."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://web.cn.edu/kwheeler/tropes.html |title= Tropes|author=<!--Not stated--> |website=/web.cn.edu |publisher=Dr. Wheeler |access-date=3 April 2020 }}</ref>
