[QUOTE=dgg;18649911]So you can't just wait till you get your computer back instead of "bitching" about it when it's your own choice?[/QUOTE] It's like "ARHG I'M SO PISSED OFF! I killed this guy while a cop was nearby and I got caught! Of all the nerve!"
[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;18650550]It's like "ARHG I'M SO PISSED OFF! I killed this guy while a cop was nearby and I got caught! Of all the nerve!"[/QUOTE] uhh no one was talking about cops chunky
[QUOTE=<VET>Jasper;18650572]uhh no one was talking about cops chunky[/QUOTE] it's called a comparison you nincompoop
[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;18650615]it's called a comparison you nincompoop[/QUOTE] Isn't that a metaphor?
[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;18650550]It's like "ARHG I'M SO PISSED OFF! I killed this guy while a cop was nearby and I got caught! Of all the nerve!"[/QUOTE] Pretty much. It's so silly to complain about stuff you choose to do. [QUOTE=Jabberwacky;18650649]Isn't that a metaphor?[/QUOTE] Her eyes shined like 10 000 suns and smelled like 50 dead babies. That's a metaphor.
[QUOTE=Jabberwacky;18650649]Isn't that a metaphor?[/QUOTE] Metaphors are a type of comparison.
[QUOTE=dgg;18650654]Her eyes shined like 10 000 suns and smelled like 50 dead babies. That's a metaphor.[/QUOTE] Actually that's a simile. "Her eyes are 10 000 shining suns" would be more correct.
[QUOTE=meon2142;18650723]Actually that's a simile. "Her eyes are 10 000 shining suns" would be more correct.[/QUOTE] Ah, damn. Well, they are both really metaphors. But, yeah.
[QUOTE=dgg;18650654]Her eyes shined like 10 000 suns and smelled like 50 dead babies. That's a metaphor.[/QUOTE] Would "describing something without using adjectives or adverbs" be a good way to describe metaphors? Maybe not now that i think about it.
[QUOTE=Jabberwacky;18650766]Would "describing something without using adjectives or adverbs" be a good way to describe metaphors? Maybe not now that i think about it.[/QUOTE] "Describing something by using something else to describe it with" maybe?
[QUOTE=Jabberwacky;18650766]Would "describing something without using adjectives or adverbs" be a good way to describe metaphors? Maybe not now that i think about it.[/QUOTE] A simile is saying something is like something else. A metaphor is saying something is something else to describe it.
A metaphor is a figure of speech concisely expressed by comparing two things, saying that one is the other.
[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;18650811]A metaphor is a figure of speech concisely expressed by comparing two things, saying that one is the other.[/QUOTE] For example, when Chunky says he has a soul he uses a figure of speech to make his joy into what we know as the soul. So when he says he lost part of his soul he just means that he got a little bit more hateful. [QUOTE=don868;18650410]My parents hardly even know me xD[/QUOTE] Sad.

Watching Kampfer is like burning your eyes with fire made of QUALITY. < Simile. Watching Kampfer is looking into the pits of hell. < Metaphor. (Replaced with a better one) Oh yeah, if you haven't guessed I'm watching Kampfer right now. It's not that bad though, I just needed some examples.

[QUOTE=meon2142;18650919] Watching Kampfer is looking into the pits of hell. < Metaphor. (Replaced with a better one)[/QUOTE] That's not better. It's actually worse.
[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;18651219]That's not better. It's actually worse.[/QUOTE] By "better" I mean it's easier to see how it's a metaphor.
[QUOTE=meon2142;18651248]By "better" I mean it's more easily classed as a metaphor.[/QUOTE] It's missing a word and as such is crap without that word.
[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;18651262]It's missing a word and as such is crap without that word.[/QUOTE] I'm taking a wild stab here, but I'm guessing you're talking about the word "like" between "is" and "looking". Adding that would make it a simile.
[QUOTE=meon2142;18651310]I'm taking a wild stab here, but I'm guessing you're talking about the word "like" between "is" and "looking". Adding that would make it a simile.[/QUOTE] Exactly, and that's why it's a shitty metaphor.
[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;18651351]Exactly, and that's why it's a shitty metaphor.[/QUOTE] But if you made it a simile it would no longer really be a metaphor. So it's a perfect metaphor.
chunkymonkey is like 1000 killer bees that are pissed off because some kid threw a rock at their nest.
[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;18651351]Exactly, and that's why it's a shitty metaphor.[/QUOTE] The metaphor it shitty due to it's shit content/comparison, but as Dgg said it's still technically a perfect metaphor so it works well as an example. That makes it "better" than the first example I had. And with that I'm off to sleep. It's been a long day.
[QUOTE=dgg;18651374]But if you made it a simile it would no longer really be a metaphor. So it's a perfect metaphor.[/QUOTE] its a bad metaphor made by gutting out a good simile
[QUOTE=dgg;18651374]But if you made it a simile it would no longer really be a metaphor. So it's a perfect metaphor.[/QUOTE] No, it's not.
[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;18651906]No, it's not.[/QUOTE] If a metaphor is a metaphor then it is a perfect metaphor. Then you can argue if it is a good or bad metaphor. But it doesn't change the fact that it is perfect as a metaphor.

It's a simile with a vital word missing and all that does is make it a crappy sentence. [editline]04:42PM[/editline] [QUOTE=dgg;18651923]If a metaphor is a metaphor then it is a perfect metaphor.
