Anyone know any similes or metaphors?

your not as green as your cabbage lookig I’ll go to the bottom of our stairs cant see the wood for the trees she looks like the cat thats got the cream thats the dogs bollocks that is

A friend in Georgia used to say all these things…

“Busy as a cat covering crap on a hot tin roof”…

“Hotter than a goat’s butt in a pepper patch”…

“Well…butter my butt and call me a bisquit!!”…

“I’ll slap you so hard, your clothes will be out of style”…

“Harder than trying to herd cats”…

“As welcome as a hair in a bisquit”…

“As bothersome as a bugger you can’t thump off”…

“Well! Knock me down and steal my teeth!!”…

“Uglier than home-made soup”…

“Uglier than a bucket full of arm-pits”…

Will those do ya for a while?? :)

I was green with envy…

As crazy as a loon…

That’s just two to start you off - once I think of a few, the others tend to come back to me too. Hope it’s the same for you!

well similes are anything compared with the word like or as so some examples i can think of are:

“ Her hair was as black as charcoal” “The thunder crashed like a semi truck hitting a van” “The room was like an empty abyss”

Then metaphors are usually when you compare something with another thing by stating it was that. All the sentences above can be turned into metaphors such as:

“ Her hair was charcoal.” “The room was an empty abyss.”

Also some other examples are: “Her eyes were emeralds shining in the light.” “His dragon breath made my skin quiver in disgust.”

i hope this helps.
