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.

Is sweating like a pig a metaphor or a similie?

It means sweating a lot.Answer:The expression is meant to imply that pigs sweat a lot, but do they? This is an example of a "factoid" a statement that appears to reveal a truth but does not really possess true facts. Pigs do sweat, but not as much or as well as we humans do. Pigs, because of their thick skin, have fewer sweat glands. As a consequence they like to wallow in damp areas to keep cool. Therefor "sweating like a pig" should mean "doesn't sweat at all well"


Is Sally was getting Chubby a metaphor?

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.
