"like shooting fish in a barrel" is a simile, not a metaphor. The clue is in the first word.

Metaphor and simile are quite different, but are commonly confused simply because they are so very similar in nature. A metaphor is an equation where a simile is an approximation. If Taxi had simply said "like shooting fish in a barrel" I would have taken it as a simile however, as he added the part about bait it became a metaphor. Go back to school and do some research.0 -
So because I have respect for people who clean toilets, that automatically makes me the person who cleans the toilets on your particular train? I have respect for people who sweep roads as well, presumably I fit that job in on the way to the stationWhere you've fallen down here and, I suspect, elsewhere in life is that you believe you are much cleverer than you actually are. I have never claimed to be cleverer than you because I really don't care if I am or not.But to you trivial things like that really do matter. Your life isn't about helping others or being nice to people. It's always about getting one over on the other bloke and picking fights with people to whom you're totally insignificant. And then you have to boast about it and act surprised when people forma a negative opinion of you.0
