            I remember watching an Episode of the Hairy Bikers a number of years ago where they described some sort of dessert they were making as "Smoother than an estate agent's brochure" and it's really tickled me ever since

                    One of my faves was, if I recall correctly, Ron Wood talking about Rod Stewart being cheap.

                      What’s a meta for?

                      “A simile is, like, a metaphor.”
                      —Stephen Wright

                      Just thought of a favorite from the literary realm, the opening line of Neuromancer by William Gibson (an Iron Heart fan, I should note):

                      “The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.”

                      (Not gonna fight anyone about the absence of “like/as”). Talk about a great noir opening that stands the test of time even as though its original intent is dated to a very specific, obsolete technology that younger readers may not understand.

                      Think it, be it.
