Words rarely used metaphorically.

Suck my metaphor.

[Xamonas Chegwé]

Her eyes sparkled in the pale moonlight like a metaphor.

That's a simile.

A joke I already made in post #2 of this thread. Do try to keep up people.

Yes, yes, you're the greatest.

Thank you. It is nice to know I am appreciated. Let me know if you want a signed photograph ($29.99 + taxes and p&p).

[Hermit]

Fickle me decided you're only the third-greatest. Oh, and I didn't specify "x", (as in "greatest x"), so I'll get a signed photograph of Seth first if he too offers to pay me $29.99 + taxes and p&h to get one to me.

I just realise that I don't think I've ever heard/read the word "spoor" used metaphorically, which is a shame. It'd be an excellent word to use to describe the things people leave in their trail, like things they've written or effects they've had on others.

Interestingly enough the word "spår" is used in all those way in Swedish (and I believe the equivalent is true in Norwegian and Danish too). I don't even think its thought of as being metaphorical usage.

"Spår" can be translated to "spoor", but I believe more often to "track" or "trail", like what you follow (or leave behind you) when skiing cross country.

or,

"He left a deep impression in my mind", could be translated with
"Han lämnade djupa spår i mitt sinne".

Another interesting thing is that Merriam Webster says that spoor has come to the English language from Afrikaans, even though there would be a much more direct connection to the Nordic languages.

This is interesting, thanks MiM.

I rarely use 'spoor' at all, but I use 'tracks' metaphorically more often than literally.

Metaphorically, his metaphors were as metaphorical as a metaphor could be.

Simile.

[Mysturji]

His express train of his metaphor collided with the pedant's similie-spewing head like a sledge hammer with a watermelon.

I have to agree, that that is metaphorically accurate.

[Jason]

She leaned back against the ottoman, legs splayed wide, shoulders against the floor, her metaphor splayed open like a simile beckoning him to stick his metaphor into her metaphor. His aching metaphor throbbed like a simile at the enticing smell of her metaphor like a fragrant simile laid bare before him. Her metaphor quivered before him in a wet simile as he gently teased her with his metaphor throbbing like a simile.
