I'll see your broccoli, and raise you raw celery.
Love those fibrous little fuckers.
Dip them in a good olive oil with a bit of salt... <chef's kiss>.
Underrated vegetable, completely unfathomable to child me.

But they don't seem particularly concerned with the cost of *any* of these things.

...And if they are, won't that identifier be obviously *less* useful, if what it says doesn't seem to match what you see?
Whereas, if it said non-binary or something, and that seems to match the person in front of you, it's actually *more* useful.

I'd say "lane" has, in practice, expanded from the original meaning into a generic term for something that something flows along.
Arguably, a lot of words we don't consider metaphorsv actually are, or at least originally were.

Seems like an awful lot of work just to avoid calling it what everybody has always called it and always will call it (to the extent that we can't even discuss what to call it without calling it that).
imo "masonry" is no longer a metaphor but a well-established term for this type of thing.
