A figurative phrase or "figurative language" refers to language that is not meant to be taken literally. Examples of figurative language are similes (comparisons using "like" or "as"; he was as tall as a skyscraper or her hair was like golden waves), metaphors (comparisons that do not use "like" or "as"; his breath was fire), hyperboles (exaggerated speech; her suitcase weighed a ton), personification (giving human qualities to an inanimate object; the book jumped off of the desk), and others.

What is a Visual on Figurative Language?
Figurative or metaphorical language brings a nebulous concept alive and gives it substance. It allows the reader to visualize or associate something in the real world with abstract information. It leaves an impression. It adds interest and color to a written piece. It clarifies in imagery what words might never truly express. This type of language requires a little bit of forethought, but is well worth the time and effort. Readers always appreciate it and good writers are always looking for that perfect metaphor. This is the secret to making your message come alive with meaning! This may be a tough question. Let's just say it is a cliffhanger. Those two sentences are the same in meaning, but one give you a better sense of just how tough it is. The reason is the visual it gives the reader. Readers remember the material best when figuratiave language assists them through the dry and otherwise boring material. Without figurative language, the writing can be a walk in the desert. == ==
