hy·per·bo·le
: extravagant exaggeration (as "mile-high ice-cream cones")
"The car is a tank" is a metaphor.

That would be a simile :-)
No, seriously:
anal·o·gy
1 : inference that if two or more things agree with one another in some
respects they will prob. agree in others
2 a : resemblance in some particulars between things otherwise unlike :
SIMILARITY b : comparison based on such resemblance
3 : correspondence between the members of pairs or sets of linguistic forms
that serves as a basis for the creation of another form

You are apparently claiming your grammar was correct. We can't hear your
diction through this list.
dic·tion
1 obsolete : verbal description
2 : choice of words especially with regard to correctness, clearness, or
effectiveness
3 a : vocal expression : ENUNCIATION b : pronunciation and enunciation of
words in singing
OK, you get that one, too. I was only thinking of definition 3. I was not
familiar with definition 2.
