Quoted from ImNotNorm:I've heard that analogy before. My butcher uses it when we're chewing the fat.
In fairness, these comparisons have been similes because they are short and use ‘like’ or ‘as.’
Simile: A pinball machine is like a steak
Metaphor: A pinball machine is a steak
Analogy: In many ways, a pinball machine is similar to a steak because they are both things that you can see and touch, plus they are both real.
