Forced figurative language
ToneA forced simile or coined metaphor reached for because it sounds clever rather than because it clarifies anything. Nobody would use this in real life. Opus 5 takes it further and takes a word from your prompt and repurpose it as a metaphor for something totally unrelated.
Examples
“Using them as a productivity measure is like tracking your weight loss with a scale that you also control the calibration on.”
