Other examples of figures of speech include:
simile, metaphor, pun, personification, hyperbole, understatement, paradox, and oxymoron.

Examples of similes
"Cool as a cucumber"
"Cold as ice"
"Sly like a fox"
"Rachel is as bright as the sun"
"The children fight like cats and dogs"
"The old woman is as fit as a fiddle"
