"This is more fun '''than''' a barrel of monkeys."
Simile differs from [[metaphor]] in the use of the comparative word. Whereas a simile establishes two distinct but similar concepts, a metaphor asserts that the two concepts are, in some sense, the same. Thus, "He's like a juggernaut on the football field" is simile; "He is a juggernaut" would be the metaphorical equivalent.
