Simile contest, parallel structures, euphemisms

Similes

Most creative
1.       "down like four flat tires"

2.       Most poetic 
          "Her eyes sparkled like the Hope diamond in the sunlight"

3.       Most likely to be said while hanging off a cliff
          "I didn't expect to finish reading a book on a cliff hanger while hanging off a cliff, Ironic huh?"

Parallel Structures

1.    The reflection of the mirror showed her beauty, cascading hair, her smile, but not her pain, defeat, her disappointment 

2.    Her cat was light on it's feet when it softly launched from the table, soared through the air, and gracefully plopped to the ground       

Euphemisms

1.  "There is a "pointe" to ballet"

2.   "go the whole 9 yards"
