A question about metaphors I know that many English nouns have metaphorical meanings. The following are what I collected from Internet. 1.Beasts refer to someone mean and cruel. Eg:Just look at the way he treats his wife! He is a beast. 2.Bears refer to someone rude and impolite. eg:　　The old man is a bear; he is always grumbling. 3.A bird means a girlfriend informally. 　eg:　Jim took his bird to the pictures last night. 4.A cat refers to a mean and bad woman. 　Eg:　Don't listen to her gossip; she is a cat. 　　5. A mouse refers to a coward. Eg:　　In public affairs he remained a mouse. 　6.A donkey can refer to someone stupid. 　　Eg: Why did you put your finger in the fire, you silly donkey? 7.Lions refers to socialites. 　Eg:　The lions at her party included two musicians and a writer. 　　8.A fox can refer to a cunning person. eg:　　Don't trust him. He is an old fox. 9.A shark can refer to a liar. 　Eg:　She entrusted all her savings to a shark who had promised to double her money. 　　10.A wolf or a goat can refer to a dirty man. Eg:　　He has a face like an angel, but he is really a terrible wolf. 11. A chick means a girl informally. Eg: You think some chick would date someone like you? 12 A rabbit means a novice or pool performer in a game informally. Are those all right? Thanks in advance. These metaphors are driving me crazy.
