What Is as Clean as a Whistle?

A simile, according to Oxford Languages is “a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid.” 

In today’s lesson, Liz and I will be going through 15 common similes that you’ll hear in everyday conversation. Some are literal, so they’ll sound normal, others are quite random so you may want to write these down in your notebook.

If you would the full list of words, with examples and a quiz to make sure you’ve understood them, be sure to sign up to The Academy.
