What I meant by that was that I was surprised to see NANGI's explanation of it. I didn't realize there was such a difference. Come to think of it, it makes me wonder if I'm really understanding という in the first place. Does it have a more specific meaning than just "a type of..."? Note that I'm only talking about the "type of" という, and not the one used as a specifier (or generalizer, not sure which way it's going really) like 「貴様」という言葉.
