This is a metaphor. The word "like" compares a person's heavy, snorted, possibly angered breathing with that of a bull, in this case one that has been further enraged by having sharp lances jabbed into its neck. (The purpose in bullfighting is to keep the bull's head low when he is being fought by the matador.)

What does Breathing like a picadored bull mean in figurative language?

A picadored bull is a bull that had its neck muscles lanced as part of a bullfight (to keep its head lowered), which further enrages the bull. A person (often more than one) who lances the bull is called a picador. After it is lanced and gets angrier, it is called a picadored bull.So metaphorically, this would be heavy breathing, coming in ragged snorts.


What does picadored mean?

The word picadored is an adjective form of "picador" that is not a formal English word. It may be used to mean someone or something very angry.As part of a bullfight, a bull is further enraged by having sharp lances jabbed into its neck by one or more picadores. In this case picadored would refer to a bull so enraged. (The purpose in bullfighting is to keep the bull's head low when he is being fought by the matador.)
