Did Robert Frost say something like, "all language is poetry?" A chair is the term I learned to describe the object I am currently sitting on while typing this comment. Germans might call the same object a 'Stuhl', the French might call it a 'chaise', etc.. My point being that the object isn't technically any of those words, but rather those words symbolically map to that object.
