Nope.
When you pee, the word pee is a verb.
When you take a pee, the word pee is a noun.
Or you could class the entire expression, take a pee, as a verb, although that would be clumsy and unnecessarily complicated.
The point being why say that you “take” something, when what you are doing is depositing something? It probably doesn’t bear this level of analysis.
So back to the metaphors. Come on folks, best foot forwards, shoulder to the wheel, get your head down and put your back into it. Now try working in that position.
Wow, with all the help on this site you folks make unicycling a piece of pie. Or perhaps I should say as easy as cake.
To succeed, you must meet challenges headon, apply directly to the forehead!
Don’t put all your chickens in one basket case
Early to bed, early bird special
you can’t have your cake and eat at joes
walk sofltly, but carry on my wayward son.
There’s no place like home depot
Great minds think before you act
fool me once shame on me, fool me twice bitten.
With all the hot women at the beach, I was hoping to meet a “10”…instead I metaphor.
Well, I sort of had in mind actual mixed metaphors people had heard used in everyday conversation. All these made up ones are funny, but are more like a tree falling in a china shop.
Ok…a leopard can’t change its stripes.
Not quite metaphors, but you should read the Para Handy stories of Neil Munro.
In times of peril: “There I was, thinking each moment might be my next…”
if you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the cold:D
Here’s one of Shakespeare’s:
To take arms against a sea of troubles.
(Scholars argue over whether it was deliberate.)
To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
Walk softly and carry a big stick-in-the-mud.
Don’t do today, what you can put off until tomorrow never comes.
“throw me a rope and bail me out here.”
A penny saved is worth two in the bush
People in glass houses sink ships
Don’t cross the road if you can’t leave the kitchen.
There is a few from Boondock Saints (good movie btw)
from Nova Scotia
Are you wearing a kilt or just happy to see me?
All gooned up and no where to go.
I can see you play the fiddle, hand me that lobster.
The tide is high, welcome to Nova Scotia.
Best from the Bay of Fundy, the Bakka Valley of North America
