Simile or Pun
I was wondering if the phrase "Playing heavy metal as a robot" was a pun or a simile. My friend swears it's a simile, but i'm confident that it isn't

Hi It is a simile, I'd say, likening the playing of heavy metal to the actions of robots (though I'd not say that myself). But, there again, robots are made of metal, so maybe there's a pun there too Dave
