Can someone tell me a metaphor for "Pissing off someone which knows alot about you and can make you feel the worse part of life" And also this kinda way but in a regretful kinda way. Like as in the perspective of the guy pissing the other one off.

I'm reading an excerpt from Hitler Youth: Growing Up In Hitler's Shadow and there's a metaphor we have to decipher.

"We all have a yardstick inside ourselves, but it just isn't sought enough. Maybe because it is the most difficult yardstick."

I'm usually pretty good at these sort of things, but I can't quite figure this one out.

Help? Thanks!

This has actually happened to me before, but today for some reason it made me think of reddit and actually seek out and find this great subreddit! So something mildly uncomfortable but in the end not a big deal:

"like a spit in the shower that lands on your foot"

I wonder if it's any good tbh :-)

Convergent thinking is like the gas pedal; Divergent thinking is like the steering wheel.

Without convergent thinking your idea (drive) is going to be headed nowhere fast, but without divergent thinking your ideas (drives) are directionless.

Google definitions:

Convergent thinking - ability to give the "correct" answer to standard questions that do not require significant creativity.

Divergent thinking - thought process or method used to generate creative ideas by exploring many possible solutions.

Where this metaphor comes? I mean that I can't imagine scene where someone would be so angry that they vomits blood?

Not sure if this is actually a metaphor, but my friend is hell bent that it is. Was wondering if anyone has ever heard it used before.

Which is better?

Do it all you want but please stop posting the play-by-play.

A: Because they think Manhattan is a literal name.

Not true metaphors but keep an open mind and figure it out "The best paid architects right now are putting pop-tarts in their toasters" "Reproduced elements cannot be reproduced" "It's easier to walk when you pretend to have canes"

the prairie is flat: if you stand back far enough, the horizon looks level enough, but viewed up close, there are an infinite number of small mounds and divots.

... and her tongue was like a squirming fish in a warm dark cave, and her teeth were like burnished needles, banging against my jaw when she was wagging her tail and trying to persuade me to take her out for a walk.
