following on from Mollies request

to keep the metaphors coming,

Who tiled your bathroom, Stevie Wonder ?

I'd knock thee down faster than a small whisky

easier to catch than a fish in a barrel

add your own....

Stevie Wonder isn't a metaphor, Tom. The others are.

Something with "as a" in it, or "like a", or "than a":

Daft "as a" brush!
Stinks "like an" owd pow cat!
Dafter "than a" Blackpool donkey!

It's something that compares two words that aren't related to each other.

Faster than a rat up a drainpipe.
Up the creek without a paddle.
Smart as a whip.
Straight as a die.

Think I had hiccups

Don't worry about it, Jathbee. Just after I posted my comment, the site went down, and your post was timed at the same as mine, so it must have played silly beggars with your post. That regularly happens to me, but never so many times.

Good examples there though.

Glad to hear it. I'm not used to repeating myself.

LOL! Neither am I.

I have noticed that you also have the hic hic hiccups too.

Yes, several times, but not for the same reason. I think I've fathomed out what was going wrong - at least I hope I have - 'cos I got sick and weary of it.

Here's one Tom, "Her'd lie under a faw o'dirt"!

And before anybody starts, it's not a reference to anybody in particular!

Mouth like a cesspit.
Sly as a fox.
Slippery as a snake.
Common as muck.

Thin as a rake

More Meyt on a Rick-Rack!

a nose like a blind cobblers thumb

she's got a bit broad in the beam.

colder than a step mothers kiss
or
colder than a penguins breakfast,

Tighter than a camel's ar** in a sandstorm!

Tighter than a duck's ar** in a flood!

There's more meyt on a bicycle frame than there is on him!

I do love these.

Gob bigger than Mersey Tunnel.

Her's getten a face like a gorilla's ar**!

Oh, it's at it again!

he's getten a face like a bag of spanners

getten a mouth bigger than Plymouth

that mon's so lucky, if he fawd in't canal, he'd come out with an umbrella

Tonker, you must have heard this one- Thicker than a canteen cup!

I've never heard that one, Tuddy.

Mollie, I've only heard it when I worked at the pit, the mugs in the canteen were pretty hefty, hence the metaphor.

They all have to come from somewhere. Makes you think where the rest originated.
