> If you capitalized Peanut Brittle so that "Mom Peanut Brittle" became a name, then it would be semantically correct. It would still be nonsensical, but less so. Ideas can be about orange or oranges. Oftentimes colors are associated with emotions (blue means sad, red means angry), so if you happen to associate orange with some particular state of mind or emotion, then that makes sense. Hatred, I guess, can be granular, if you hate tiny bits and pieces of someone (althogh that's stretching it).


Interesting that you'd interpret it that way. When I first read that line, I understood it to be more of a gritty or grinding hatred. The kind that gets under your skin and continues to fester and eat away at you.
