Idioms A word or saying many people in a certain place or area say. They do not mean what they say. “Break a leg!” “You got up on the wrong side of bed.”

Personification When the writer makes a thing, idea, or an animal do something only humans can do. The knife and fork danced as the baby banged on the table.

Simile A comparison using ‘like’ or ‘as’ The dog’s coat was as smooth as silk. The coffee cup steamed like an ocean liner.

Metaphor Comparison not using ‘like’ or ‘as’ The woman’s head was an egg. The man’s eyes were deep oceans.

Onomatopoeia The use of words that imitate the sounds associated with the objects or actions they refer to Moo, buzz, splat

Allusions A figure of speech that points to a person, event, place, or another passage within writing. The boy came out of the locker room like a young Hercules ready to show off his strength and athleticism.

Puns When you play with those different meanings to be funny or clever When a clock is hungry, it goes back four seconds. I used to be a carpenter, but then I got bored. Old doctors never die, they just lose their patience.

Euphemism A mild and pleasant expression that is used as a substitute for a harsh and blunt one. It means the same thing, but makes something sound more appealing. Bath tissue=toilet paper Exchanging words=argued
