Bang Clang Bang!
a: Pre-ignition ~
b: hitting your cylinder
What: "Mechanics say pre-ignition is like hitting your cylinder and crankshaft with a big hammer. I have never seen it actually cause permanent damage though. Perhaps the damage is subtle, like loosening up the crank bearings."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
