Had I used ax in the title people would have assumed that it was a reference to someones termination. While the club reference is more of a standard metaphor which is universally recognized. A club being swung symbolizes a fact, or in this case a statement that is going to be used against someone else. Thus a club being swung. The club invokes many mental images of brutality, and base instincts.
I invoked the battle ax analogy for the purposes of being relevant to my audience. They should get the intended joke, and appreciate it. Why club when you can use a +10 battle ax. The latter has a far better ring to it.
However you should recognize that I did not invoke the club metaphor within the body of my work, but instead it was a title. Unless your of the opinion that a title must be quoted within a text for the title to be valid. Which lets be blunt few works actually do that then you have nothing to nitpick.
Nice try but I am right and you are wrong.
