| What analogies do you all find particularly apt for describing the various situations that life throws at you?
For example, when something is god-awful, I rather like the description "(subject) is to (category) what Jeffrey Dahmer was to cuisine." |

| 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'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. |

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

| 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.. | |||

| -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 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" | |||

| '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'. | |||

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

Seriously. |
