  1. Similes Hears In This District.

    As bold as brass.
    As fresh as a daisy.
    s old as Mathuselah's cat.
    As "braddy" as a mouse.
    As quiet as a lamb.
    As ignorant as a pig.
    As bury as nailers.
    As old as the hills.
    As stupid as an ass.
    As dead as queen Ann.
    As weak as a sop.
    As swift as the wind.
    As smooth as glass.
    As thick as grass.
    As kind as an eel.
    As green as a leek.
    As warm as wool.
    As cold as ice.
    As clean as a new pin.
    As bright as a new shilling.
    As red as blood.
    As fresh as the morning.
    As hardy as a hare.
    As strong as a horse.
    As dead as a door nail.
