What would these sentences be classified as? (for example, metaphor, simile, hyperbole, idiom, etc.)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"We're in it for the dough!" "Luxury lost focus on the individual and started seeing us all as one..." "The door for infusions, flavored spirits and seasonal wingspantails" (I suspect this is an euphemism) "Hooked on Facebook, a total Tweetheart, queen of the Blogosphere, a social Shutterfly." "We broke the law of flavor physics." "NO + NO + NO = YES!" (Irony? Because three negatives is a negative, not a positive.) "Top of the food chain. And wine chain." "It's Haagen-Dazs combined with a thousand years of Italian tradition." "The egg sandwich grows up." "Where food and culture meet...the conversation starts." "Nothing wakes up food like Texas Pete." "Please Spear Me!" "Life opens up when you do Crest." "MGM Grand is built on entertainment." "Lost track of time." Take note, you don't have to give me all of the answers. Hints would be nice, though.

Every single one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You don't have to give me every single one. My main problem is identifying them anyway. But if you want to, sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, and the options are : Metaphors, similes, personification, alliteration, onomatopoeia, pun, oxymoron, hyperbole, euphemism, irony, idiom, and cliché.

Literary Devices is a wide subject and I can't explain it to you. I would suggest you go to these sites and research into metaphors, similies and so on. http://www2.uncp.edu/home/canada/work/allam/general/glossary.htm http://literarydevices.net/ (Go to this one first) http://quizlet.com/12276199/general-literary-terms-flash-cards/

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

We will not answer each one for you nor can we tell you the definition of every single literary device. You should learn the literary devices yourself and figure the sentence out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did research on irony, but my teacher said that true irony was hard to find. So I guess that the "no + no + no = yes" was the only real question I had.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you for the websites.

Np :)
