One thing, though - how can the plant move LIKE a living thing? If it's growing and thriving (or wilting) isn't it, by definition, a living thing?
Additionally, and don't mind the pedant here, the food is spelled bologna. As in "Oscar Meyer has a way with b - o - l - o - g - n - a", which is about the only way anybody who's not Italian learns to spell the stuff. Why we have to spell it in Italian when we don't speak Italian, I don't know.
Well, I said "like a living thing" because plants generally don't try to strike you like a snake does and take a bite out of you. They usually sit there peacefully while growing bigger over the years.
From what I understand, bologna is the more formal name and baloney is the more common name for the sausage.
Bologna is the correct spelling for the food. Baloney is the spelling for the term "Baloney, you don't know what you're talking about!" They're said the same way.
As far as "like a living thing", yes, I know what you're getting at, but it still doesn't make sense. The plant IS a living thing. You might say like a wild animal or something else to indicate that it's motile, but it's not as though plants are typically unalive in the wild.
