A sentence in TV program "My son is about as subtle as an elephant with gas." There's something I don't understand: 1.an elephant with gas 2.Why is "about" added after "is"? Thanks in advance :)

An elephant with gas is a very large animal that is farting constantly. Stinky and LOUD. the "about" means that the son is almost as subtle as an elephant with gas, but not quite.
