Considering how you're unable to discern proper use of the term, from improper use, I doubt it.It's a noun, just like the word "rant," (which also happens to be synonymous), so if the word rant can be used in its place then it's grammatically accurate. And as you can see by my original phrasing, "that entire tirade rant is so cringe-worthy I winced reading it," it is correct.
Right, so in this case it doesn't make sense to refer to Nostradamus, or his characteristics, as an "analogy," because those are the analogues.
The confusion arose from your misuse of words. It's like describing the color of a red car as "orange," and when corrected, engage in damage control by looking up hues of orange that are close to the color red.
No it doesn't. In no context is "Nostradamus" an analogy.
I'm not sure why you insist on doubling down when you're wrong. At first it was just ignorance on your part (and that would be fine), but now you're just being obtuse.
Let's take another look at the proper use of the term.
"I'd like to say that we are Nostradamus filmmakers and we saw that coming, but none of us did, life threw a curveball, and I think though I view the election outcome as a tragedy, I think the movie becomes more relevant than ever." - Matt Tyrnauer, on CNN
Notice how this sentence makes no sense if you interpret Nostradamus to mean "charlatan," "pseudo-intellectual," or "pretentious."
No. My point was that (as a working adult) you're a terrible person for asking your parents to buy you a video game console on Christmas because you think it's too expensive.
