Can you give me an example of a metaphor that describes people as smart? |

Answer» A METAPHOR is a comparison of two unalike things—where one thing is said to be the other. It does not use the WORDS like or as, as a simile would do, and it often does not even include a variant of to be. For example, someone who has a great number of pimples COULD be described, unkindly, as a pepperoni pizza-face, as this COMPARES their spotted skin to the SURFACE of a spotted pizza. It's not particularly kind, but you could also describe them as having a crater-face, comparing their face to the surface of the moon as a result of their blemishes. |
