Ok, so you're all telling me that if ask someone if he wants to go out and get drunk, his response is "Does a bear shite in the woods" that it is not a metaphorical response to what I asked him. Is that what y'all are telling me?

The metaphor refers to a person's true nature. Of course he's going to do it. That's the counterpoint of two ideas.

What, exactly, is it a metaphor for?

Nevermind. I get it. You're dumb.

Not a metaphor.

For example, if someone asked me "Are feminists fat and ugly?", it wouldn't make sense for me to say "Yes, it's like a bear shitting in the woods". A bear shitting in the woods has no parallels to a feminist being fat and ugly. The two statements just happen to both be obviously true, making it a humorous rhetorical question

Your claim of a 129 IQ is looking dubious.

I think anyone who passed the 8th grade would say I'm right on this. The fact that I'm having this argument about two totally unrelated terms is ridiculous. I guarantee you every single English teacher in the country would say I'm correct.

Ok, doesn't that meet the same definition here?

I get what you're saying, but I'm still saying not.

Let's try to make a metaphor out of this.

"I'm getting so drunk I'll eat bear shite."

"I'm going to shite a drunken bear."

Dude, you should drop this one. I'm too high to figure out where you're having a disconnect, but you have one somewhere.

Ok, this one for instance:

quote:

It’s raining cats and dogs.


Ok so let's say you walk into a place, and you're soaking wet. Someone asks why you are wet, and you say that as a response. How is that any different?

No. Do you know what the word literal means? I'm saying the two statements have no metaphorical parallels
