Over at Dave Barry’s, the question this Sunday was about an important distinction in language:
Mr. Language Person,
When Ted Nugent sings, “My face is a Maserati, looking for a clean garage,” is that a metaphor or a simile?
Sincerely,
Randy Walker
Roanoke, VA
Be sure to stay for the comments, such as this one
Actually, a simile would be “My face, like a Maserati, is leaking oil.”
They an edumicated bunch over there.
This post does makes me wonder: has anyone written a parody grammar book lately?
