I always heard sink like a rock.

"Like lambs to the slaughter, their drinking the water and breathing the air" -Tom Lehrer Pollution.

Also, "lamb to the slaughter" is used several times in the Bible, so even if you take the King James version, it has quite an antiquity!

A Tom Lehrer reference!!! That made my day, BlackLab!

" 'The Lord's our shepherd,' says the Psalm

But just in case...we better get a bomb!"

Just in case you weren't aware, quizmaster, just because a phrase has the word "like" in it doesn't make it a simile.

All of these are similes though, so the QM is correct in that.

Lukutiss is making a funny reference to Back to the Future when a character called Biff says the above, and he sounds like a goof when doing it..

That's the only thing I could think of, but when I saw the answer I realized it was the correct one. It's "spread like wildfire", not the plague.

But the "avoid like the plague" seems the odd one out here. Because the plague isnt doing the avoiding. A different construction of sentence compared to the others, so I was thinking in the wrong direction. (when spread didnt work I was wracking my braisn what else it could be)

Could you be a bit more lenient with the tenses? Accept "slept" and "smoking" for example.

Shouldn't it be "fits like a glove" and "works like a charm", instead of dropping the s?

The definition of a simile is a metaphore using like.

Ergo the like in the title is obsolete.

Except you can also use "as" to make a simile. Ergo, the "like" in the title isn't redundant. Who uses "ergo" in a sentence anyway? Especially when you don't properly use a comma to separate the adverbial phrase from the rest of the sentence. Tsk tsk

I thought it would say “make like a uhaul and leave”. How disappointed I was.

It's funny to see how different languages have different sayings. Instead of saying "fits like a glove", in Finnish we say "It fits like a fist in the eye" :D
