- Synopsis
- What is a simile? Pronounced sim-uh-lee, this figure of speech compares two different things, actions, descriptions, or feelings. Most similes are introduced by as or like. "As pretty as a new-laid egg." A simile can create a fresh, surprising description. A simile can even make us laugh when it sets up the opposite of an expected meaning. "As welcome as a polecat at a picnic."
