I wrote: "no difference between the two parties"... long a political trope

As I often will, when I'm writing stuff I'll stop to look up words I choose to make sure it captures what I'm trying to say in a way others will understand...

So, casually googled trope...

And I learned a new word by typing poorly... ending up with Tope

Definition of tope

(Entry 1 of 3)

intransitive verb

: to drink liquor to excess

But, some fun complexity.... being not certain if it derives from the French verb toper... "high five"... or Punjabi top hat... Tamil has it as a "grove of trees" ?

Learned a new (to me) word... Find it odd I've never heard it before.
