We see what a bruise looks like. We feel what a bruise feels like. Sometimes, we even hear what a bruise sounded like. An extension to this would be the following: what does a mental bruise think like?


Yes, I understood what you intended by the use of the word "think". I was just pointing out that a simile is LIKE something, whereas a metaphor IS something. We were talking about a metaphorical bruise, not a mental bruise.

Being pedantic is fun, isn't it? :wink:

Oh dear. Can you get someone to remind them about antibiotics working on biotic pathogens or do it yourself?
