👉 The term "lettermen" is a figure of speech in which the speaker uses a phrase or sentence that has no direct meaning but serves as an alternative to another word or phrase. It can be used to create a sense of ambiguity, confusion, or surprise. For example: "Let's go for a walk in the park." - This sentence could be read like "Let's go and play in the park," which is an alternative way of saying "let's go for a walk."
