I can't imagine the degree of angst you caused your English teachers in school.

They loved me. I was so good I got to go to college for free.

How is BUGA an abstraction? There is only one BUGA.

1) Please see the 2nd definition from the link you provided (which you somehow passed on the way to the third definition, which is irrelevant):

abstraction = a general idea or quality rather than an actual person, object, or event : an abstract idea or quality


2) Please see the relevant part from my post:

abstractions like "Buga Nation" are not specifically him. Buga Nation does not even make sense as a direct reference to a specific person. Buga might be a direct reference depending on other content. Buga Nation is an abstraction or a slogan.

In accordance with the definition, Buga = actual person. Buga Nation = "a general idea or quality rather than an actual person, object, or event". Did you not see where I make a distinction between "Buga" being a potentially direct reference/name of an actual person and "Buga Nation" being an abstraction?

The only part of your post that is technically on the right track is where your question implies that BUGA is not an abstraction. Again, if you actually attempted to read my post instead of looking for a way to try and one up me, you would see that I'm not contesting that. I clearly make a distinction that BUGA NATION is abstract... in contrast to BUGA.

Anyway, I don't have a beef with you. You were a smartass in your first reply to me, so I had a little fun in being a smartass back. Nothing personal. You're entitled to your opinions. But I don't think any further replies between us are going to go anywhere but circles from here, and I doubt you're interested in discussing semantics any further.
