Hippo OR Pig
It is a simile because it compares two things by using "like" or "as." If we said "Lauren is a pig.", that would be a metaphor because we would not be using "like" or "as" in our comparison.

No. But this would be: Sally was a fat pig. This is a simile: Sally was fat as a pig A metaphor states "X is Y" when X is not actually Y but can be compared to it. A simile states "X is like Y" "Sally was getting chubby" isn't either. I feel sorry for poor Sally, though. But at least she didn't become a linguist, and have to deal with these nuisances all day.
"The fat is in the fire!" This means that an action or a situation has begun that can't be (easily) halted. The action or situation is usually a negative one.
