The question is simple:  is there a word or phrase that means "both literally and figuratively", aside from the one I just used?
Say, for example, you and a group of people were all sailing out in the ocean and something happens...then you say,  "I guess we are all in the same boat"  You are literally in the same boat with everyone else, and your current situation is the same as everyone else.  Now such a phrase can be applied literally and figuratively. I was wondering if there was a word that would mean both literally and figuratively. I know this is a tad bit of an oxymoron, but I was curious to see if there was such an "all encompassing" word for this.
In history we are taught that the Catholic Church was wrong, because the Sun does not move around the Earth, instead the Earth moves around the Sun.  But then in physics we learn that movement is relative, and it depends on the reference point that we choose.  Wouldn't the Sun (and the whole universe) move around the Earth if I place my reference point on Earth?  Was movement considered absolute in physics back then?

I have a table that I want to insert on a page, but at least one (perhaps both) of the following conditions are met:   The table is too wide to fit within the text block or page. That is, I'm exceeding some horizontal restriction. The table is too tall to fit within the text block or page. That is, I'm exceeding some vertical restriction.   What are my options to make this table fit? If it doesn't fit, regardless of my attempts, what other options exist? How do I create a decimal field in Access with Alter Table? Refreshing a question doesn't update the answer count properly In the Stack Exchange Android App v1.0.7 1.0.33 (with a HTC One running Android 4.4.2), the answer count for a question you're viewing is displayed in two places:   In the label of the answer tab:   At the bottom of the question tab:    I've noticed that these counts don't reliably update when new answers arrive.   If you refresh the question tab, neither count updates. If you refresh the answer tab, the second count will be updated, but the answer tab's count will not, leaving the two out of sync.   Refreshing either tab should probably update both counts!    Screenshots of the bug in action:    I waited for it to be answered. A while later, the question now has an answer.    The tab still says 0 answers though. Switching back to the question tab, , but the tab count still doesn't. Smeared creamy look effect i came across a photo where the gradient looks like it s smeared from cream.

I need to find a way to import some .json models into Blender, and it seems I can't just import them the same way I can import a .obj model. So is there some way to convert a .json model to a .obj model, or another file type Blender can import? I've tried using Blockbench for this, but I think it only works with Minecraft recourse pack .json models, as those are the only models that will ever actually load in it. Thank you to anyone who can help me figure this out. SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xa3' in file when function returns '£' I am trying to align some text to left/center/right in the same line. For example, I want to put my phone number on the left, my name in the center, and my email on the right, how do I do that? Suppose $R\neq 0$ is a commutative ring with $1$. Let $M$ be a free $R$-module. I would like to prove that $M$ is a flat $R$-module. Everywhere I have looked (mostly online) this is proved by first proving that every free module is projective, and then proving that every projective module is flat. Unfortunately, Atiyah &amp; Macdonald's "Introduction to Commutative Algebra" (Chapter 2) does not discuss projective modules. But the result that every free module is flat comes very handy in the exercises.   So my question is,     Is it possible to prove that every free module is flat just by   definitions and without appealing to projective modules?   Thanks! How can I replace a relay with a MOSFET Transistor? I have this working         &ndash; Schematic created using   An Arduino commute both relays and a power adapter charge each battery at a time.  I would like to replace each relay by a MOSFET. How can I do that?  I think the solution bellow will not work because DRAIN is always connected to SOURCE and this will short circuit batteries. MOSFETS only isolate from SOURCE to DRAIN.  When the D9 is HIGH, D10 will be LOW so the power adapter will never be charging both batteries simultaneously.          Sorry for the messy schematic.  Thank you very much. I've been thinking of animating some dice and while most are easy to make, I'm having some trouble figuring out a way to generate a regular dodecahedron. I could hand build it but it would be potentially uneven. Would using the base of a 5 sided cylinder and then some variation on spin be the best option or is there a better way? How to select (highlight) text in Skype chat without using a mouse? Recently I started learning to use keyboard shortcuts almost for everything I'm doing on the laptop, but soon enough after I started, I bumped into the problem of being unable to highlight (select) simple text in Skype chats.  I did some research and I couldn't find any solution to my problem. Have I missed an already answered question that is the same like mine or if not what solution can you suggest in order to achieve the results I want without touching mouse or touchpad or any cursor moving device?
