Can you describe temptingly low-hanging fruits as tantalising? Are all doomsayers Cassandras? Which is right, squaring the circle or circling the square? Why is the vegetative metaphor in a vegetative state today?

When does the arithmetic metaphor become a good metaphor arithmetic? Is botany a metaphor for all hand-me-down knowledge? Can negative words become resonant? Why is Eureka moment fast turning into a weasel metaphor?

Yeast and dough – which is the spreading metaphor and which is the accommodating metaphor? Why shouldn't veneer be used as a respectable metaphor? Is wilderness a metaphor for the down and out? Are all harsh and severe laws draconian?
