Answers:
They're metaphors (actually, a specific type of metaphor called a similie because of the use of the word as), and I believe an aphorism, but am less sure on that!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
right, here i go:
as slow as a wet week - if you have a week of rain don't you wish it would end so you could go out and enjoy yourself but wet weeks seem to be much longer than a week!. mind you if you are in a drought prone area then it is probably as fast as a wet week!.
as messy as a pig - just look at how pigs eat their food and wallow in mud, man it is messy!.
as fast as a cheetah - a cheetah is considered the fastest animal which means it is all over in the blink of an eyelid (another saying) - very fast!.
