For those familiar with Mad Libs, this should be easy as (NOUN: consumable, digestable).
But to state it simply, in order to participate here, all you need to do is supply a familiar (or entirely unique, if you would prefer) , analogy phrasing, and leave blank/supplant the one word in the phrase to which the analogy can be completed by a fellow, following member.

One can continue playing this by either quoting a previous analogy posted, or creating a new one of their own. You can even complete your own analogies, just to have fun with it.

The best example, I always say, comes from the setting of the OP, so with that, we'll roll on with creatively-completable analogies...

"I like my coffee the way I like my comedy: (adjective: one-word)."

I'm missing something in this game, as if it were (adverb)


I'm not sure if an adverb will fit there, but I like adverbs. Otherwise, I am just barely grasping at the hair-ends of this thread but I'll keep an eye out.

I went for a stroll in the park one day, but later came home like a (descriptive phrasing), huffing and puffing, vowing to never go back to that particular park again.

Cool. I just now have come across a web service that uses my idea (at the time, thought it was seemingly-innovative) of blanking out the second analogy, leaving the participant an opportunity to guess.

Quia - Vocab/Word Knowledge: AWESOME ANALOGIES! (and it plays similar to Jeopardy!)

(quick note: I believe these "mad-libbed analogies" of mine are fairly often used in IQ tests, behavorial analysis studies, and in certain private/gov't psychological testing endeavors).

That's funny. I just took another psych test where that was type of question was used.

What's funnier: I thought I had already replied to your response weeks ago (actually, this is now very sad, given my penchant to forgetfulness).

(I swear I responded.)

Moving beside the blunt metaphorical object of allegory that in no way resembles a relevant point, I guess I can offer (/ proffer) some more to this aim.

Not quite the "game" / fun intellectual test I'm trying to develop here, but this is another version of the practice, as put forth by Sadlier-Oxford (Institute for Learning).

Nice little test, once I figured out what to do...

My mind is about as sharp as butter knife.

not exactly in quickness, but how it is treading.

That's actually quite an awesome analogy, once you get into the pondering of how it relates. Thanks for playing, bagatelle.

I need to remember that one.
