That's not an analogy, it's a simile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAsterisk Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 That's not an analogy, it's a simile. There's no reason the two can't be the same. In fact, they most often are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be but analogies usually draw direct, logical comparisons between two or more items where a simile uses one thing to describe another using the linking terms "like" or "as."

BBTV Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 An analogy would be "A is to B, as X is to Y."Just saying "A is as something as B" is a similie.

HurricaneDavid Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 That "Big Baby" guy on LSU said something very strange during his last postgame interview on CBS: "We have tapeworms in our stomachs, and we need to eat."Apparently, he was getting at the idea that they have to keep eating up other teams on their way to the championship.I think that's a metaphor, but I wasn't an English major.

Ben5 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I read this one on ESPN.com, but I forget exactly what the circimstances were. "The couple wants to have a baby, so they are pulling the goalie." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 An analogy would be "A is to B, as X is to Y."Just saying "A is as something as B" is a similie. Wow, this is all screwed up. Analogies aren't just for SATs, you know. You can have two items be "analogous" without matching them up with some other set.And a simile isn't just a comparison. "Tartar Sauce is like Mayonnaise" is not a simile.BTW, this is a smilie: That's all for today, class. Yeah do that. Do exactly THAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMMF Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 And a simile isn't just a comparison. "Tartar Sauce is like Mayonnaise" is not a simile. As incorrect as that may be (although I've had some bland tartar sauce) that is a simile. A simile takes two things that are mostly different and shows a comparison using one of the characteristics they have in common."This tartar sauce is like mayonnaise."
