American high school analogies
This one's been around, but worth revisiting. Having been an English teacher in Japan, it's good to remember that high school kids everywhere write goofy-ass stuff:


6. Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.

14. Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.

18. Even in his last years, Granddad had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long it had rusted shut.

25. He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a garbage truck backing up.




See the full list at The 25 Funniest Analogies (Collected by High School English Teachers).

"Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever." hahahahahaahha. Thats unbeatable. A+++.

Also reminds me of about 2 years ago, my best ever responses on one of my tests. In a "fill in the blanks" quiz on some kind of recipe:

Question:
Q: "What do i do with the eggs?"
A: "___ them into this ___ and ___ them."

Answers:
1) No them into this bowl and eggs them!

2) Break them into this bawls and dig them!

and my personal favourite:

3) Be them into this onion and chicken them!
