Question

What does methaphorically speaking mean??

Answer 1

"I did something bad but don't want to admit it so I pretend like I am asking wat would happen if i did it"

or something like that

"talking about a situation as if it was an abstract situation"

Answer 2

use it in a sentence, plz

but i guess it just means not literally.

Answer 3

you know, like speaking in a metaphorical manner.. haha

and a metaphor is........ A figure of speech in which a word or phrase that ordinarily designates one thing is used to designate another, thus making an implicit comparison, as in "a sea of troubles"

Answer 4

its not meant to be taken literally. for example if someone says they're so hungry they could eat a horse, they're not actually going to eat a horese, it just means they're really hungry

Answer 5

they are speaking by stating an example, like the old commercial about doing drugs fries your brain () metaphoricaly like an egg.-blurey
