Metaphors We Live By On Really Bad Days


LIFE IS A JOURNEY ON WHICH YOU ARE HOPELESSLY LOST
LUST IS AN INEFFECTUAL FORCE
AN ARGUMENT IS A MASSACRE
A THEORY IS A PILE OF RUBBLE
KNOWING IS HALLUCINATING
LOVE IS A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY
A RELATIONSHIP IS A WORK OF DADAIST ART

I'd offer prizes for those who could identify all of the original conceptual metaphors, but I'm still working on [livejournal.com profile] regyt's prize.

I was thinking of LOVE IS WAR, or maybe LOVE IS A GAME.

Yes, that was me. I don't contribute as much as I used to, though.
