AnonymousI'm like the metophorical equivalent of standing under a waterfall.

That's a rather cryptic remark. It's not just a metaphor. It's a metaphoric equivalent, i.e., something that is the same as a metaphor in some way, most likely metaphorically.

And it's not just a metaphoric equivalent. It's like a metaphoric equivalent. So the whole sentence is a simile (probably) about something that is metaphorically the same as a metaphor.

Good luck working that one out.
