noun, Rhetoric.
1. the use of a word in different senses or the use of words similar in sound to achieve a specific effect, as humor or a dual meaning; punning.

It reminds me of Miasma Glen, a place in a game that was poisoned by the souls of the dead.~
/and then it cleared up when Lester played his lute!
/WOW I miss that game

Oohh I have never heard of that place in a game before. What was the game called, if you do not mind my asking, Amane? I would like to know because that description sounds pretty interesting.

In Inuyasha, Miasma was the gas stuff that Naraku would spread around to poison people. Or something like that....?

I think if you look up miasma as a word, it is not a very good thing... something about illness or sickness or disease or something... so it would make sense that miasma was a gas that poisoned people!

It's an ancient Greek word for blood poisoning, referring to someone who had done a serious wrong that ruined the reputation of their family line. They'd be shunned and would have to do a great deed and some serious prayin' (and offerin'?) to clear the miasma.

On a related note, bleeding used to be considered impure.
