Fat as a tick
That person IS a FAT slob. Metaphors use IS and ARE.
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.
you are fat as a cow
no..drama queen is not a metaphor
He is a lion.He's a fat cow.
No. One word does not make a metaphor. "Bob is groaning" would be the closest you could get, but that is a statement, not a metaphor.
A metaphor for Christmas would be: "Christmas was a beautiful as spring day!"
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.
In literature and language, fat is often used as a metaphor for abundance, excess, or indulgence. It can symbolize wealth, luxury, and overconsumption. Additionally, fat can be used metaphorically to represent strength, resilience, or protection in certain contexts.
"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.
None. "As _____ as a ______" is a metaphor. The proper metaphor would be "as fresh as a daisy."
The meaning of the text is obtained by an appreciation of the analogy of the metaphor.
