The Hangout: I will skullf**k your brain out with my pure awesomeness.

Girls, girls, girls. sigh.

Just don't put up with too much shit. Then she'll know she can get away with alot.

MoH: SH = The new Medal of Honor game, in which you and a company of fellow soldiers fight through a war-torn Silent Hill. Things go bat-shit insane, and you find yourself fighting a legion of the damned in a warped version of an already war-warped battlefield. The highlight of the game is when the Pyramid Head takes out your best friend, and you, in a haze induced by the unreality inherent of Silent Hill, carry his headless corpse all the way back to camp, where it fuses with your artillery store and becomes a giant bullet-spewing monster who's defeat teaches you a hard lesson about yourself and the nature of reality. Then aliens come and rape you in the ass with a probe.

lol that's not too much, i'm just a big baby.

[Ahkei]

This has racked my brain for an hour now, and hopefully somebody can fix this up for me.

When I say "I'll come at you like a spider monkey", what literary device is that?

Is it just a simile, or does it have some other name?

Simile, not metaphor.

Simile, not metaphor.

I know it's not a metaphor, but to me it seems more than just a normal similie.

Heh. Someone at another forum specifically for modding FPS PC games made a map for MOH: AA out of Silent Hill. It was pretty fucking well made, too. Creepy as hell, with great background sounds and music. I uh, only tested it for two minutes, though.

That would be a metaphor, not a similie. A similie is a 'sound alike' word. A metaphor is a phrase that implies the meaning of something else.

What the fuck?

You've gone wrong.

The first you're describing is onomatopoeia, and I have no clue what your definition of a metaphor is. Go back to school.

Onomatopoeia is a word that sounds like what it describes. Like "vroom" or "bang" or "darth sucking ass".

[Cyberxion]

In language, a metaphor (from the Greek: metapherin rhetorical trope) is defined as an indirect comparison between two or more seemingly unrelated subjects that typically uses "is a" to join the first subjects. A metaphor is commonly confused with a simile which compares two subjects using "like" or "as". An example of a simile: "He was as sly as a fox." In the simplest case, a metaphor takes the form: "The [first subject] is a [second subject]." More generally, a metaphor casts a first subject as being or equal to a second subject in some way. Thus, the first subject can be economically described because implicit and explicit attributes from the second subject are used to enhance the description of the first. This device is known for usage in literature, especially in poetry, where with few words, emotions and associations from one context are associated with objects and entities in a different context.

I'm not Sprung, but never sounds like a good enough answer to me. But then, I'm an asshole, so what do I know?

Yes.

Well then, define what you mean by 'sound alike word'...



Also, thanks Cyber for clearing that up.

But I am still not sure about what that phrase would be classed as.

I'm sure it is not just a simple simile.
