[ adverb ] in name only
Examples "nominally he is the boss" Used in print (Peter J. White, "Report on Laos"...)To find_out , we traveled throughout that part of Laos still nominally controlled , in the daytime at_least , by the Royal_Lao_Army : from Attopeu , the City of Buffalo Dung in the southeast , to Muong_Sing , the City of Lions in the northwest , close to Communist_China ( map , page 250 ) . (Dell Shannon, The Ace of Spades....)But aside from everything else , it would scarcely be pleasant to have dealings with one who was nominally an underling and actually held - you could say - the whip_hand . |
