- A metaphor was a term or phrase used to make a comparison between two common things that were not alike.

By figuratively asserting that the world is a stage, Shakespeare uses the points of comparison between the world and a stage to convey an understanding about how the world works and the lives of the people within it.
- A Metaphor is when you say something, but it means something else. Many Christians believe that parts of the Bible are metaphors, such as the part about stoning your children to death. Many Christians find Running their life based on Bronze Age and Iron Age texts would be difficult. Then some Christians avoid primitive parts of the Bible or tough parts of the Bible by saying they're metaphors of something or other.
- A metaphor is figure of speech that draws an equivalence between two unrelated items. Unlike a simile, it does not use "like" or "as", and uses equivalence rather than a similarity. House often uses metaphor to explain a concept in physiology or etiology to his fellows or, in less common cases, to his patients or supervisors. In the series, they serve the purpose of explaining very complicated concepts of medicine to the audience in plain language.

- A Metaphor is when you say something, but it means something else. Many Christians believe that parts of the Bible are metaphors, such as the part about stoning your children to death. Many Christians find Running their life based on Bronze Age and Iron Age texts would be difficult. Then some Christians avoid primitive parts of the Bible or tough parts of the Bible by saying they're metaphors of something or other. Inevitably deciding what's literally true and what's metaphorical becomes arbitrary. This can lead to Christians deciding for themselves which parts of the Bible and which parts of Christian teachings they want to accept or letting their pastors decide for them. Liberal Christians say quite a bit of the bible is metaphorical and liberal Christians often don't believe the parts of the Bible about Hell, and original sin are literally true. Christian Fundamentalists often insist that every word of the bible is literally true except clear parables.
- A Metaphor is using one concept to represent something else. Many American Conservative Christians deny the existence of metaphor in the teachings of Jesus Christ in the Bible.

"Well come on, sit on grandpa's lap as I tell you how infections are criminals; immune system's the police" ―Mirror Mirror "Cervical lymph node is a garbage dump. Very small one--just one truck comes, and it only comes from one home." ―97 Seconds "Saying there appears to be some clotting is like saying there's a traffic jam ahead. Is it a ten-car pile up, or just a really slow bus in the center lane? And if it is a bus, is that bus thrombotic or embolic?" ―Euphoria, Part 1 "[The Inuit] look for the blue heron, because there's no way to see the fish. But if there's fish, there's gonna be birds fishing. Now, if he's got hairy-cell, what else are we gonna see circling overhead?" ―Role Model "The tumor is Afghanistan, the clot is Buffalo. Does that need more explanation? OK, the tumor is Al-Qaeda. We went in and wiped it out, but it had already sent out a splinter cell--a small team of low-level terrorists quietly living in some suburb of Buffalo, waiting to kill us all. . . . It was an excellent metaphor. Angio her brain for this clot before it straps on an explosive vest." ―Autopsy "The liver is like a cruise ship taking in water. As it starts to sink, it sends out an SOS. Only instead of radio waves, it uses enzymes. The more enzymes in the blood, the worse the liver is. But once the ship has sunk, there's no more SOS. You think the liver's fine, but it's already at the bottom of the sea." ―Locked In However, House's use of metaphor is not limited to medical matters. He often uses them to explain philosophical concepts as well. "Grief is Newark. Okay, it's there. You can't avoid it. The idea is to hold your nose, hope the traffic’s not too bad, and get on to Manhattan as quickly as possible, not to buy property." ―Dying Changes Everything
