As Figurative Speech
By analogy, the term is also used to describe exercises solely for the development of a skill: for example, asking students solved questions in philosophy or economics. It is also described as a method for becoming "Good Christians" by Walter Scott. Another analogy is described on the Western Washington University website as part of The Relaxation & Stress Reduction Workbook.

Famous quotes containing the words figurative and/or speech:
“Church neglect
And figurative use have pretty well
Reduced him to a shadow of himself.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“True and false are attributes of speech not of things. And where speech is not, there is neither truth nor falsehood. Error there may be, as when we expect that which shall not be; or suspect what has not been: but in neither case can a man be charged with untruth.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)
