Heard these recently which made me laugh;
"As full as a fat woman's sock"
"As welcome as a ginger stepson"
"It went down like a fat kid on a see saw".
Anyone got any more? :-)
Not a simile, but a nice metaphor from Marina Hyde's Guardian piece on
Andrea Leadson
I want to speak to the markets, Leadsom smiled, with the air of
someone who imagines you can negotiate with gravity.
And this isn't bad either.
Even the verdicts of her friends tend toward the confusing. She has
steel, blethered Iain Duncan Smith, but there is a velvet glove of
compassion. Oh Iain! God knows Ive learned to manage my expectations
as far as IDS is concerned. But I would like a secretary of state who
understood a basic despot metaphor before he accidentally deployed it.
