Funny Euphemisms

Funny Euphemisms, I know a few... but looking for some more.

Here's some of mine...

'Sweating like a pedophile at a Wiggles concert'

'I'm on it like a rat on a Cheeto'

'You couldn't get laid walking into a whore-house with a fist full of fifties'

'Busier than a one-legged man at an ass-kicking contest'

'Walking down lover's lane holding my own hand'

I hate to be a English Language dick, but these aren't euphemisms.

A euphemism is a word or phrase that is used in lieu of an offensive word having bad connotations. Examples:

Jail : House of Corrections
Sexual intercourse : Sleeping with, Intimate with
Dying : Passing Away, Biting the dust, kicking the can... etc. etc.

I guess your right, dick.

Could you tell me what they're called though?

You gave five examples.

The first two were similes, which use words such as like, as, or as if to compare two unlike things. Also, the fourth one also appears to be a simile as well.

As for the third and fifth ones, those look like straight-up metaphors.
"A woman's body is a sword." In this case, you're comparing two unlike things, a woman's body and a sword, but without the words like, as, or as if.

I'm a grammar-freak, and the above explanation seems right to me, although it's been a while since I've taken literature and anyone can correct me if I made any mistakes....

Hello.
