Literary notes about limerick (AI summary)
While most literary references to “Limerick” denote a place or a poetic form, on rare occasions the term appears to function as a color descriptor. For example, one author contrasts its hue with that of “tooth‐and‐egg” in an ambiguous discussion—suggesting that “Limerick” might evoke a subtle, perhaps slightly greenish tint reminiscent of fresh lime, though the precise nature of the shade remains open to interpretation ([1]). This singular use underscores how, even when a word is more commonly tied to geography or verse, authors sometimes repurpose it to enrich their descriptions with unexpected visual nuance.
