Really Bad (Student) Analogies 🙂

Really Bad Analogies Written by High School Students

(For a similar Post a few years back, see Student Analogies.  I have eliminated from below duplicates in that list.)

1. Her eyes were like two brown circles, with big black dots in the center.

2. He was as tall as a 6′ 3″ tree.

3. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.

4. John and Mary never met.  They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.

5. She had a deep throaty, genuine laugh – like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.

6. The ballerina rose gracefully en pointe and extended one slender leg behind here, like a dog at a fire hydrant.

7. He was as lame as a duck.  Not the metaphorical lame duck either, but a real duck that was actually lame.  Maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.

8. Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.

9. the lamp just sat there, like an inanimate object.

NOTE:  This collection (sent by Richard Barger), was entitled Math is like a foreign film without subtitles.  I laughed, but didn’t include it in the above, since I fear that most people would consider that one to be a really good analogy! 🙁
