"Metaphor"?
I don't think he knows what that word means...
I'm with jhardin.
Merriam-Webster:
METAPHOR:
1: a figure of speech in which a word or phrase literally denoting one kind of object or idea is used in place of another to suggest a likeness or analogy between them (as in drowning in money); broadly : figurative language — compare simile
2: an object, activity, or idea treated as a metaphor : symbol
CNN didn't compare Citizens United to a "fringe militia," CNN called them a "fringe militia group."
This is why people hate lawyers.
David Vigilante. Hah. What did your ancestors do to hang that name on your family?
