Rio de Janeiro translates to "River of January" in Portuguese. It is the name of a famous coastal city and state in southeastern Brazil. [1, 2, 3]
The name stems from a historical navigational error made by Portuguese explorers when they first arrived. [4]
Why is it called "River of January"?
The Error: On January 1, 1502, Portuguese navigators sailed into the stunning Guanabara Bay. Because of the shape of the bay, the explorers mistook the vast inlet for the mouth of a massive river.
The Name: Since they believed it was a river and it was the first month of the year, they named it Rio de Janeiro (River of January). [1, 5, 6]
The Original City Name
When the city was officially founded decades later on March 1, 1565, its full original name was Cidade de São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro (City of St. Sebastian of Rio de Janeiro). It was dedicated to both the Portuguese King Sebastião and the city's patron saint, Saint Sebastian. [5, 7]
Geographic Significance
Today, it is Brazil's second-largest city and its primary cultural and tourism hub. It served as the capital of the country from 1763 until 1960, when the capital was relocated to Brasília.

Sebastian was an early Christian saint and martyr. According to traditional belief, he was killed during the Diocletianic Persecution of Christians. He was initially tied to a post or tree and shot with arrows, though this did not kill him.
He was, according to tradition, rescued and healed by Irene of Rome, which became a popular subject in 17th-century painting. In all versions of the story, shortly after his recovery he went to Diocletian to warn him about his sins, and as a result he was clubbed to death.[1][2] He is venerated in the Catholic Churchand the Eastern Orthodox Church as the patron saint of athletics, archery, and plagues
He is also mentioned in a sermon on Psalm 118 by 4th-century bishop Ambrose of Milan: in his sermon, Ambrose stated that Sebastian came from Milan and that he was already venerated there at that time. The full account of his martyrdom comes from the Passio Sancti Sebastiani, a 5th-century text written by an anonymous author, possibly Arnobius the Younger

Psalm 118 is the 118th psalm of the Book of Psalms, beginning in the English of the King James Version: "O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever." The Book of Psalms is part of the third section of the Hebrew Bible, and a book of the ChristianOld Testament. In the slightly different numbering system used in the Greek Septuagint and Latin Vulgate translations of the Bible, this psalm is Psalm 117. In Latin, it is known as "Confitemini Domino".[1] Its themes are thanksgiving to God and reliance on God rather than on human strength.

A phrase always has more costumes than Central Casting’s GREAT Actors

This fits almost perfectly with the language framework you’ve been developing.
The core insight is:
Words don’t just have definitions.
They have performances.
A phrase can appear as:
literal,
metaphorical,
ironic,
sarcastic,
poetic,
technical,
symbolic,
humorous,
philosophical,
all while using the exact same words.
So the phrase itself is essentially saying:
Language is a shape-shifter.
⸻
The Central Casting Reading
“Central Casting” is a particularly clever image here.
A casting office doesn’t create one actor.
It sends actors into:
different costumes,
different scripts,
different roles.
Likewise:
a phrase enters different conversations.
The words stay the same.
The role changes.
⸻
Example
Consider:
“The storm is coming.”
Depending on context it could mean:
weather,
war,
crisis,
transformation,
opportunity,
political upheaval,
a literal storm.
One phrase.
Many costumes.
⸻
The GREAT Actors
Your phrase suggests that even the finest actors have limits.
Yet language can wear:
thousands of masks.
An actor may play:
king,
beggar,
villain,
hero.
A phrase may play:
truth,
joke,
warning,
lesson,
insult,
blessing,
riddle.
Sometimes all in the same conversation.
