"figures of speech in which a word or phrase literally denoting one kind of object or idea is used in place of another to suggest a likeness or analogy between them." (Broadly, figurative language.) 2. "An object or idea treated as a metaphor."
OK, please explain it to me, the coffee has not kicked in yet. How is an over generalization the same as a metaphor that needs interpretation? Metaphor is a form of imagery, overgeneralization is typically classed as hyperbole or overstatement. :) And how does Bowie's displeasure with your generalization of his friends at d2.net as retards indicate that he can't interpret metaphors?
Talk to me.
EDIT: For atrocious spelling and grammar. Silly me, when I was nit picking like a grammarian. :P
