I got this e-mail from a friend, who 'claimed' these were all in GCSE English Writing papers as similies/metaphors etc. All are ... terrible ...

- His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a tumble dryer.
- Murphy fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a paper bag filled with vegetable soup.
- Her hair glistened in the rain like nose hair after a sneeze.
- Her eyes were like two brown circles with big black dots in the centre
- Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.
- The politician was gone but unnoticed, like the full stop after the Dr. on a Dr Pepper can.
- John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.
- The thunder was ominous sounding, much like the sound of a thin sheet of metal being shaken backstage during the storm scene in a play.
- The plan was simple, like my brother Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan might just work.
- The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while.
- Oh, Jason, take me!" she panted, her breasts heaving like a student on 31p-a-pint night.
- He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck either, but a real duck that was actually lame. Maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.
- Her artistic sense was exquisitely refined, like someone who can tell butter from "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter."
- She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.
- It came down the stairs looking very much like something no one had ever seen before.
- It was a working class tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with their power tools.
- He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a dustcart reversing.
- She grew on him like she was a colony of E. coli and he was room-temperature British beef.
- She walked into my office like a centipede with 98 missing legs.
- Her voice had that tense, grating quality, like a first-generation thermal paper fax machine that needed a band tightened.
- It hurt the way your tongue hurts after you accidentally staple it to the wall.

Hold on a sec. I was confused, I thought you meant that these similes were in the questions or extracts, if these are taken from students' answers then they're probably true. I RE teacher once told me that when asked about "Euthanasia", a student gave a detailed account on "Youth in Asia," needless to say, he got no marks.

I have my suspicions.
Although by seeing some levels of stupidity, there could be a worryingly large amount of these that were infact given.
