Age is a chockablock full category in Similes Dictionary. And new age-related similes crop up constantly. To wit, Representative Nancy Pelosi on a discussion of Hilary Clinton's age as an issue in the 2016 presidential election. As Pelosi said "A Republican approach that calls attention to Mrs. Clinton’s age is not
without peril,' She topped her prediction that the Repulbicans would go to that place at their own ris with this simile: “Age is like art — it’s a matter of
interpretation.”
