Analogies used to be a parlor game back before radio, TV, and Wii. A host would call out an adjective and a conjunction or preposition (e.g. “busier than”) and a player would have to respond with either an old classic (“a one legged man at an ass kicking contest” or “a mule at harvest”) or make up a new one.
So for this game, respond to the previous analogy and then give the adjective for the next person. Okay to use a known analogy but originals are super welcome.
I’ll start:
Awkward as… Monticello on Father’s Day.
Nervous as…
**Nervous as ** . . . a whore in church. (I like the classics.)
**Hotter than ** . . .
Hotter than . . . a freshly-baked apple pie on the surface of the sun.
**Tight as . . . **
