What is a metaphor?!


Question:

What is a metaphor?


I'm a bit of a writer and I've always loved the idea of metaphor's and I thought I'd share a selection of fairly funny ones with you all, it is by no means a complete list and I'm sure you can add to it.
Oh, Jason, take me!" she panted, her breasts heaving like a student on 31 pence-a-pint night.

Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two other sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.

His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a tumble dryer.

She caught your eye like one of those pointy hook latches that used to dangle from doors and would fly up whenever you banged the door open again.

The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't.

McMurphy fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a paper bag filled with vegetable soup.

Her hair glistened in the rain like nose hair after a sneeze.

Her eyes were like two brown circles with big black dots in the center

Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.

He was as tall as a six-foot-three-inch tree.

The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.

Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left York at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Peterborough at 4:19p.m.at a speed of 35 mph.

The politician was gone but unnoticed, like the full stop after the Dr. on a Dr Pepper can.

John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.

The thunder was ominous sounding, much like the sound of a thin sheet of metal being shaken backstage during the storm scene in a play.


Answers: good ones. :)) Very good. Interestingly there should not be a full stop (period) after the Dr in Dr Pepper since Dr is not an abbreviation but a contraction. Contraction's do not have full stops. Excellent § It's for your gas and electricity. They measure how much you use and bill you for it. (He!He!) I never metaphor I didn't like. Nice work. Very good.

Beautifully put.
