FUN COMPARISONS AND DESCRIPTIVES IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE...

You guys can blame 007 for this--- If you need someone to blame.  Or...you can blame me---I don't care.!!  I like exploring the "odd" or "weird" things that pop up in our language. Some of these are idiomatic (from certain areas of the country..), while others are fairly universal. I'm sure you will recognize some of them, but I expect some of them will be new to you.  As a little background let me say that most of these will be a form of 'speech' described as a comparison. The first two types are  'Simile' and 'Metaphor' which are comparisons between unlike 'things'. Comparisons can be either "direct' or 'indirect' and 'expressed' or 'implied'.  But don't worry too much about all of that (unless you're interested in how our language develops..).  There are other parts of speech that may show up here from time to time also. Don't worry about them either...

Just read and enjoy.!!  Oh, also... Please don't be shy.!!  I WANT to hear YOUR favorite speech idioms and sayings.

THIS WILL BE FUN.!!  

P.S. I think 007 ought to start us off, since he is responsible for this....
