As dictionary.com defines it:

tease out:

(phrasal verb) -- To get by or as if by untangling or releasing with a pointed tool or device, e.g. "It takes a carefully trained expert to tease out the truth" (Arthur Green).

I'm writing a college paper and I'm not sure if this word is too informal to use or not. There's no usage note or anything at dictionary.com, but I don't know--I don't trust it.

So what do you think?

If it is too informal--or even if it's not--can you think of any synonyms that could be used in its place?

Thanks!

I don't really understand what Metonymies and Synecdoches are. I've looked them up and even on wikipedia, I don't understand them.

I have to find one of each in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, so if anyone knows any that are in there or can just explain what these terms are, I'd appreciate it!
