Just list a common metaphorical phrase.. I'll start "pee like a russian race horse" "Useless as hensh!t on a pump handle" "Colder than a witches tit in brass bra" "happier than a puppy with 2 peters" Any others out there? The first two are similes not metaphores. |

slicker than deer guts on a doorknob that's a simile not a metaphore. A simile is a figure of speech used to make a comparison between two things, usually with the words “like” "than" or “as”. A simile differs from a metaphor by keeping the items separate and asking the audience to find similar features instead of saying they are the same thing. A popular mnemonic for a simile is that "a simile is similar or alike." |

slicker than deer guts on a doorknob that's a simile not a metaphore. I don't think it's either -- there's no attempt to create a symmetrical conceptual balance. It's more of a comparative, in which one thing is said to be "more" of something (or could be "less" or "bigger" or whatever), which is structured around the concept of how A differs from B. As a simile is intended to exhibit "likeness" (similarity), and this example is built on a layered comparison, I don't think this qualifies as a simile. |

I'll stand my ground on this one. |
