"Thorn in my side"
Let's get started!
"You are a thorn in my side." This is a common metaphor.
Create a new one that has about the same meaning.
For example:
"You are the mosquito in my tent."
"You are the virus in my computer."
"You are the rock in my sock."
Create your own and let me know.
My ten favorite responses. Of course, my judgment is extremely subjective. The important test is whether any of these start to be used in actual speech. Let me know if you hear this happen.
