Explanation:
A straightforward metaphor which describes agents that are different and/or a promoter of change.

Example sentence(s):
  • This was due, Colonel George Taylor Denison later wrote, to the fact that the British race required 'the new blood in the Colonies [to] leaven the mass' (Smith 1994: 34)
  • This newspaper woman, whose kindness covered city infidels as well as Alpine Christians, offered to take me back in the hills to a place where the old-time religion was genuinely on tap. The Scopes jury, she explained, was composed mainly of its customers
