I wonder if and how the expression "with a capital" restricts the range of nouns and adjectives it can be used with if the speaker intends to convey a clear meaning.
For instance, would these sentences instantly produce a clear meaning in your mind:
This is a mouse with a capital M.
This is a brick with a capital B.
This is mediocrity with a capital M.
This is indifference with a capital I.
This is laziness with a capital L.
I am anxious with a capital A.
He is thin with a capital T.
They are dishonest with a capital D.
The soup is bland with a capital B.
