RE: Metaphors or Riddles? - Which One I Like More and Why
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Metaphors are great , however they can often be steeped in subjective related meaning.
There are the standard ones that are culturally nuanced and widely used, but then there are the ones that may be left field and hard to interpret because of their subjectivity.
Then there are cultural ones that are just plain ole designed for he culture of the person.
And they are as about as good as a hole in a gumboot

I didn't think about that view, but you are right about that... The cultural differences around the globe can make a big misunderstanding in communication... But, hey... Does that mean that we shouldn't use them? I will take a risk, but be gently with them :)
I'm addicted :)
We should always use them, part of the joy is thought, and if the metaphor doesn't come easily then figuring it out is part of the charm :)
