We are on a mission to become the world’s # 1 destination for Idioms, Metaphors and Similes.

Idioms are expressions whose meanings are not predictable from the literal meanings of the words.

They are figurative and often culturally specific.

Example:

“Kick the bucket”- means to die, not literally kicking a bucket.

A metaphor compares two unrelated things by stating one is the other, to suggest a shared quality or symbolic meaning.

They don’t use “like” or “as”.

Example:

“He has a heart of stone”- Suggests he’s emotionally cold.

A simile compares two different things using the words “like” or as to highlight similarities.

Often used in literature, poetry, and everyday speech.

Example:

“She is as busy as a bee”
