For example, consider the phrase "The 43rd President of the United States of America": while the 43rd President of the United States is "actually" George W. Bush, things might have been different.
 Bush might have lost the election, meaning that the 43rd President might have been Al Gore or Ralph Nader instead.
 ("How remote" these possible worlds are from the actual world is a discussion for physics and counterfactualism.)
 "The 43rd President of the United States of America" is thus a non-rigid designator, picking out George W. Bush in some possible worlds, Al Gore in others, and yet other people in other worlds.
