A literary device used by various hip-hop artists, the likeless simile is a simile without the words like or as prior to the descriptive part of the sentence.
For instance, in the song Bed Rock by Young Money, the
following line contains a likeless simile:
"I just be coming off the top; asbestos"
This line in simile form would be as follows:
"I just be coming off the top like asbestos"
Since the word like was omitted from the simile, it is a likeless simile.
Other examples of the Likeless similie include:
In Kanye West's "Good Morning":
"You got d's, motherfucker, d's, (like) Rosie Perez."
In Drake's "Forever":
"Swimmin' in the money, come and find me, (like) Nemo"
In Young Money's "Bed Rock":
"Shake and bake, (like) Ricky Bobby

Get the Sicilia mug."Sigita" and its masculine form "Sigitas" are Lithuanian names. Lithuania is a country on the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea. There is some speculation as to the name's origin: possibly Old High German (Sigismund), Indian (Sangita) or Latin ("sagitta" for arrow).
Variations of "Sigita" include "Siga" and the diminutive "Sigutė", as in the refrain, "Eik Sigute, eik dukrele," from a popular Lithuanian folktale.

Get the Sigita mug.Sicily is a girl that will always be there for you. She is a beauty that attracts all kinds of people. She's smart, kind, forgiving, and a great friend. She always wants to make people happy and constantly tries to make people smile. A genuinely nice girl who should be treated like the beautiful princess she is. She's a good person to be around, so if you ever meet one, never let her go. Ever. She's a social, cunning, passionate woman. To have a Sicily as a friend is to be extremely fortunate. Once you've pissed her off, you shall pay for the rest of your life! However, this somehow does not threaten her people skills. You will most likely fall in love with her because of her grace and kindness. She loves all and loves people for their souls, she will always find good in people. Don't ever underestimate her, she is a very brave one. She is a mixture of lush and sexy. Although she's a really bold and sometimes quirky person, Sicily is usually a perfectionist and she might be really hard on herself in private. She can be stubborn, and won't stop an argument until she has made her point, but she is also forgiving and loyal. She will break your heart even if you didn't even know you loved her in the first place. Her smile, that damn smile will make you feel at home, her eyes are the most gorgeous things you may ever see, her lips are gorgeous, her humor can make you die of laughter, and most importantly her heart, the kind-hearted soul she is will never change. Don't let her go.
" Did you see Sicily today, she is so gorgeous"
" Sicily you are an amazing friend, I love you so much"
"Don't let Sicily go."
" Sicily you are an amazing friend, I love you so much"
"Don't let Sicily go."
