Question

The car was smoking like a chimney. What type of figurative language is this? What does it mean?

Answer 1

I believe that's a metaphor because the other types of figurative language don't exactly fit with it. If it's a metaphor, it means that a lot of smoke is coming out of the car, like smoke would come out of a chimney.

Answer 2

or simile because it uses the word like. similes use the words like or as to compare two different things.
