It seems you're staying busy in this thread.
Busier than a dyke in a hardware store. I also use "I'd hit that like the fist of an angry god." This thread is lamer than FDR's legs. (family guy) John F. Kennedy needed a parade like he needed a hole in the head. |

"No, I've never heard of that pokemon."
Think about it. |

My boss used to say things were "heavier than a dead minister."
Myself, I'd like to hear the origins of that one... |

The best analogies involve implicit anti-semitism.
Seriously. |

Meh, don't use analogies much. Although I try to relate it to current events at times...
"You screw up math like Kerry screws up jokes." |

Heh, along those lines I also like "a few x short of a y" type insults. Though that's not really an analogy either... |

'Not the sharpest tool in the shed' is a classic.. not sure if it's the same thing but we used a few like 'Agile like a safe' and 'He's so "fast" that when he moves he stands still'. |

I tend to use "____ like yesterday's soup" no matter what the subject of comparison is. I'll make them up on the spot too, but when I don't feel like actually thinking of a valid second half they get kind of weird: "I was going through matches like Bob Dylan on a ferris wheel" |

-You're slower than molasses in January.
-This is harder than a preacher at a playground. -That's hung like a tick-tack. -I'm like King Midas in reverse; everything I touch turns to shit. -I'm as serious as cancer. -You'll fly like a rock. -You're singing is like a whore's vagina, when you open your lips it stinks! |

I like the "Not superlative in the container/group" statements for saying someone isn't too smart. I mean, you got your common ones like "Not the sharpest knife in the drawer", and "Not the brightest crayon in the box". But you can really use anything. "Not the shiniest car on the lot", "Not the fastest sled on the hill", "Not the biggest book on the shelf", "Not the most oil producing country in OPEC"...etc.. |

This is about as fun as dentistry.
And although not an analogy, I find myself saying "what a load" fairly often. |

I've been known to say that things "slip faster than a three legged cat on a frozen pond". I got a weird look for that one.
I come up with lots of weird metaphors and analogies for trying to explain things at work. I can't think of any good ones right now. There was one about RAM and kitchen benches but I forget exactly what I said now. |

I rock the analogies harder than Valcion rockin' the mechs?
Metaphors and analogies are a hit and run thing, you know, like a drive by shooting. I'm on a roll like a hungy vegan. |

I heard one the other day that was used to express a level of distain. "What a pile of dirty laundry!" |
