Nail down the List
Tuesday, October 28, 2008
The visual component will be made up by a collection of illustrations and layouts in both bound book and digital form. Amongst the long list phrases that make up figurative language, here are the ones that I have been considering:
Fights like a lion
Hair of the dog
Nail down ideas
Put the nail in the coffin
The straw that broke the camel's back
Caught with his pants down
Wet behind the ears
-Milk on his lips (Spanish)
Window Shopping
-Window Licking (Spanish)
Cock of the walk
Tit for Tat
Quiet as a mouse
Proud as a Peacock
Tighten up the screws
Burning a whole in his pocket
Grasp the concept
Break the ice
Shed some light on the subject
Drinks like a fish
Strong as an ox
Fights like a lion
Hair of the dog
Nail down ideas
Put the nail in the coffin
The straw that broke the camel's back
Caught with his pants down
Wet behind the ears
-Milk on his lips (Spanish)
Window Shopping
-Window Licking (Spanish)
Cock of the walk
Tit for Tat
Quiet as a mouse
Proud as a Peacock
Tighten up the screws
Burning a whole in his pocket
