Grand Final for me. I would prefer that we get further, even if a loss may hurt more than a prelim.

cro_Magnum said:"In language, a metaphor is a rhetorical trope defined as a direct comparison between two seemingly unrelated subjects. Typically, a first object is described as being or having the properties of a second object. In this way, the first object can be economically described because implicit and explicit attributes from the second object can be used to fill in the description of the first. Some (particularly in cognitive linguistics) see metaphor as a basic cognitive function, while others prefer the term analogy for this concept. However, metaphor is not always used for practical description and understanding; sometimes it is used for purely aesthetic reasons. Metaphors are commonly confused with similes, which use the words "like" or "as."
And all the time I thought it was a simile. Damn, should have known it was a "rhetorical trope"
A gift from above said:now i am confused, i am leaning towards a simile. The important thing is it was used in the correct context, something very rare here.

For more examples listen to any Crowded House song. Over-use similes more than any other writers in history.
