Actually mahalo that is a simile

Simile is a figure of speech comparing two unlike things that is often introduced by like or as.

a metaphot is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase literally denoting one kind of object or idea is used in place of another to suggest a likeness or analogy between them.

simile: He has a nose like a pig.

Metaphor: He has a pig nose
