WTF are you on about?
OED good enough for you?
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/metaphor
1) A figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not LITERALLY applicable.
‘when we speak of gene maps and gene mapping, we use a cartographic metaphor’
[mass noun] ‘her poetry depends on suggestion and metaphor’
Origin
Late 15th century: from French métaphore, via Latin from Greek metaphora, from metapherein ‘to transfer’.
Now are there any OTHER STUPID ASS QUEZTIONS you need answered. Perhaps I should ask if there's a reason that YOU REFUSED to look up or offer an alternate meaning for either FIRE or METAPHOR?
Are you merely denying facts appearing PRIMA FACIE for a reason?
Is there a reason you NEVER answer a FAIR QUESTION...and instead incessantly ask ridiculous, non sequitir questions irrelevant to the instant matter.
Let me answer. YOU ARE WILLFULLY IGNORANT.
You are Sub-Trumpian in your retardation - AND THEREFORE CANNOT DRAW THE FACE OF A CLOCK.
Yes you are deliberate in your Vexatious prosecution - doomed from the start - even though it was.
