Show Slang and Simile. Will some one kindly jwint out where metaphor and similo leave off and where slang begins? There aro many expressions expres-sions about which sometimes cause cultured cul-tured people to torn up their noses or raise their eyebrows, and yet they are to be found in the Bible, in Shakespeare and in other excellent places, while there are about as many expressions which people use with a great deal of reverence, tliinking that they come from tho Bible, which really are to be found only in such works as Sterne's "Sentimental Journey Through Italy."
