THE DIFINITION OF FIGURED OF SPEECH
A figure of speech is a word or phrase using figurative language—language that has other meaning than its normal definition. In other words, figures of speeches rely on implied or suggested meaning, rather than a dictionary definition. We express and develop them through hundreds of different rhetorical techniques, from specific types like metaphors and similes, to more general forms like sarcasm and slang.
Figures of speech make up a huge portion of the English language, making it more creative, more expressive, and just more interesting!

This article will focus on a few key forms of figures of speech, but remember, the types are nearly endless!
