Requested similesEdit

Some articles that should be created and added to this category:

• black as coal
• black as night
• clean as a whistle
• clear as day
• eyes like a hawk
• fly like an eagle
• free as a bird
• happy as Larry
• happy as a clam
• light as a feather
• like the dickens, like hell, like Hell, etc., if these count
• neat as ninepence
• old as the hills of Rome
• plain as day
• plain as the nose on your face
• quiet as a mouse
• sleep like the dead
• snap like a twig
• straight as an arrow
• strong as an ox
• thin as a rail
• white as a sheet

(I'll undertake these at some point if no one else does; I'm mostly just listing them so I won't forget them.)

Oh, I forgot about ones like colder than a witch's tit, hotter than Hell, larger than life (and bigger than life), which I guess are also similes. —Ruakh_TALK 23:40, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
