Analogy(anal–o–gee)
(a) The comparable resemblance between two things on which a comparison may be made; also, a slight or moderate or other certain similarity, on which a comparison maybe formed: relationship; similarity; resemblance; equivalent; figure of speech; simile; correlation; link; comparison; likeness; match; symbol; accordance; approximation; likening or as in biology analogous relationship
(b) A conformity, resemblance, connection or correlation between the relationship of entities to one another or similarity in specific circumstances on which a difference may be founded.
Example of the analogy between
clock = ticker = heart
clock = face = dial = face = moosh
clock = strike = punch = to clock someone in the dial = face
fuck = intercourse = root = sex
heart and the clock = ticker
heart and the pump = drive = energy = determination
heart and the pump = thump = steal
proboscis = trunk = snout = snozzle = nose
penis = prick = a sexual connotation to penetrate
penis = prick = obnoxious person or thing
pickle= quandary or pickle = dill = idiot = dill = drongo = fool
prick = thrust = offensive = abusive = of a male = a prick
root = delve = prod = poke = enter = intercourse
root = dig = delve = root around = act foolish shoestring = live on a shoestring = meagre income = survival
(c) Logic,a form of reasoning in which similarities are inferred from analogous instances; simulated articulation or the creation of existing words in forming inflections or the creation of others, without intervention of the determinative steps, through which these first happened
(d) A comparison indicating that two or more things have similarity in some respects; accordance; appearance; approximation; correlation; equivalent; fashion; figure of speech; function; identity; likeness; link; likening; relationship; resemblance; match; similarity; simile; similitude; symbol
Idiom

(a) a figure of speech relating to the comparison of one thing to another, of a different kind, e.g. 'as a man like an ox (of strength)' or 'agile as a monkey (nimble)'
Similes draw similarity with the help of the words of "like" or "as." Consequently, it is a direct comparison.
(b) An expression in which a person or object is depicted as being comparable to someone or something else
(c) analogous, comparison, facsimile, procedure, guise, appearance, resemblance, symbol
Similitude
a person or thing resembling the like or counterpart or equal of another; a parable; an allegory; the characteristic of the circumstance of being similar; similarity.

We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
