High School Metaphors


Zach: He wanted to yell at her so badly but couldn't bring himself to do it like a mute with Tourette’s syndrome..

Zach: He was a real square and incredibly dumb like a cubic rock.

Zach: He was bad at making metaphors like a person trying to make a metaphor but accidentally using the word "like"

Zach: His new year's resolution was clear and highly defined like a 1,920x1,080 TV

Troy: Zach was as excited about writing metaphors as Monica Lewinski was when she first discovered the fashion gravitas of wearing a beret.

Troy: He became as indecisive as a door handle greased with Vapor Rub, but without the lingering "cool" sensation.

Troy: His Indian accent was thick like two parts corn starch and one part water, with a dash of curry to make it sound more Hindu.

Zach: He was as capricious as the non-metaphorical woman during her "time of the month"

Troy: Her eyes were sharp as a knife, but her mind was more like the opposite of the sharpness of a knife, or her eyes.

Zach: He was as waggish as a co-worker attempting to make humorous metaphors and/or similes

Zach: His running while having a cold got him bent all out of sorts and upside down. His nose ran and his feet smelled.

Zach: He was as smart as wink and as quick as tack

Troy: He was as optimistic as a guy expecting his picture to be next to a word, like "optimistic", in the dictionary.

Troy: His enthusiasm was matched only by something about the same degree.

Zach: He was as sharp as a song about old cheddar written in C# major

Troy: He woke up like he had been shocked by 30 amps, but actually it was literally 29 amps.

Zach: He got a kick out of her just the way a guy would get a kick out of a girl if he tried to get too fresh with her

Zach: He went completely postal like Amazon's delivery methods

Troy: His feet smelled like a dead raccoon if it had enormously large smelly feet.

Troy: His garden went to weed faster than Washington state, but he remained as gay as Vermont.

Troy: He started mixing metaphors like a woman preparing a cake but doesn't quite stick the landing.

(Regarding diapers) "Ever try the dipstick method? You stick your finger in, and if it's about to the first knuckle, it's full."
- Troy

Bret: "Newborn diapers are interesting."
Troy: "Oh, because of the meconium. It's the secret ingredient of gorilla glue."

"Geeze, Lukas, you're causing hectic!"
- Heather
"My sister left me an ineligible voicemail. I couldn't understand anything she said. . . . She just doesn't speak legibly any more."
- Heather
