from the "cocked an inquisitive eyebrow" collection

[Laurence Horn]

Cris Collinsworth on NBC, discussing a big fumble, remarked that "it
turned the complete game around", i.e. turned the game completely
around.

(In an earlier discussion over the summer re "dodged a narrow
bullet", Arnold reminded us this is called hypallage or transferred
epithets.  Somehow it strikes me as especially odd when the adverb
transfer to modify a definite, as above.)
