    Metonymy

    Explanation:

    Metonymy is a rhetorical device that substitutes the name of an attribute for that of the thing meant.

    An example is using a suit to represent a business executive.

    "you don't have to be an Einstein to ... "

    Albert Einstein is a famous scientist and inventor that is regarded as a genius. So the word genius and Einstein are used interchangeably.

    That line can be translated as "you don't have to be a genius to ..."
