Do you propose a debate about the use of names?

I suggest, although risky in abundance (like beading or colorful fringe), well done name calling (like a crisp corded edge) can bring much to a written debate.
Point 1: color and character, give it some zing and lubrication
Point 2: reveal underlying emotional content, to be used by either party in further volley
Point 3: derail the banter into more interesting tangents unconsidered beforehand

So what is well done?
1. Surprising associations
2. Timed and spare- you got to wait for it
3. Nested within a larger observation
