No, it wasn't meant in a metaphorical way. What you posted wasn't a metaphor, it was a question. You can't change the rules of the English language to suit your own arguments. You wondered why an earthquake could not happen in Ireland. That. Is. Not. A. Metaphor.

Leave the whole 'lolz your getting the better of me so I'm going to complain about how ure trying to look intelligent' **** out. I get that same argument about four times a day from people. I'm not trying to look intelligent by telling you legit geographical queries can't be metaphors because it's just a base fact. And I'm certainly not trying to impress anybody. Who is it you know who is 'impressed' by discussions on the nature of the English language?
