metalphor 

A portmanteau of "metaphor" and "metal", referring to the use of heavy metal songs or lyrics as a representation of less tangible (or audible) ideas.

"Four words for you: Run To The Hills."
"Iron Maiden! Nice metalphor, sir. So ... should I break up with her over text or email?"

Cryptic metaphor 

A line made famous by flash animation veteran, Egoraptor, in his spoof of the game Metal Gear Solid, "Metal Gear Awesome". This is uttered aloud, by Vulcan Raven, referring to the fact that Snakes have no arms, and since Revolver Ocelot gets his arm cut off, it symbolses that he is going to be the next snake, making a cryptic metaphor. This exclamation can also be used by standing silently behind a complete stranger and pointing at them, and waiting for them to turn around, and when they do, shouting "CRYPTIC METAPHOR." And walking away without further comment.

1. Snake: Oh, gee whiz, I hope a tank isn't gonna totally come outta nowhere and OWN me.

*tank shoots snake*

Snake: YOU KNOW... SERIOUSLY... I'M GETTING A LITTLE FUCKING PISSED OFF!!!

Meryl: Hey, Snake, a tank is gonna totally...

Snake: SHUT UP!!

Raven: CRYPTIC METAPHOR.

Snake: Do you seriously think this is fucking fair?

Raven: ...Just throw grenades at me.

Snake: Oh.

*explosion*

Snake: Awsum!

Raven *laughs* I gave him more than a raven could hunt for in the night.

Ocelot: What?!

Raven: The snake prowls feircely, but cannot scratch his back, for as the sioux people are aware of, snakes have no arms with which to scratch their back.

Ocelot: ...Shut up.

Raven: The Raven on my head thirsts for his blood!

Raven's tattoo: DAMN RIGHT, NIGGA, mm-MM!!

2. Mungo: So what are you doing this weekend?

Zodiac: CRYPTIC METAPHOR!!!

Mungo: Cheapass! You did that last week!

metaphorgasm 

What happens when someone overreacts, gushingly, to an overanalytical comment about literature.

The English teacher had a metaphorgasm when the student compared the clouds in the poem to femininity and the sun in the poem to masculinity.

metaphor 

A comparison between two unrelated things; does NOT use the words "like" or "as."

Note to all of the people out there who only think they understand grammar:
A comparison using "like" or "as" (definition #2) is a SIMILE.
A sentence used to express the relationship of words (definition #3) is an ANALOGY.

"America is a melting pot" is a metaphor.
"Life is like a box of chocolates" is a simile.
"Pink is to red as gray is to black" is an analogy.

Megaphore

A unique term to describe humorous or obscene uses of metaphors and similes. Not like the literature heavy, dull and archaic everyday metaphors and similes in novels, newspapers and articles - a Megaphore is specially crafted to amuse, amaze or offend and can reference anything from current events to celebrities.

That Megaphore was so funny it almost made me forget to take my annual shit on Jade Goody's coffin.

That Megaphore was so obscene it put me off my planned munging trip.

That Megaphore was so brilliant I felt like I'd been given a rusty trombone by an angel.
