pretty much if someone says something that doesnt make literal sense and they dont offer an explanation it might be a metaphor you just haVe to figure out what they meant by it youll get the hang of it pretty quickly i think
theres similes too theyre a lot like metaphors basically a simile is where someone outright compares two things like if they say 'you need a doomsday deVice like a fish needs a two-wheeled deVice' thats a simile a fish obViously doesnt need a two-wheeled deVice cause fish dont eVen haVe legs the whole idea is ridiculous so the message is that person really does not need a doomsday deVice
a metaphors where theres no outright comparison youre not saying one thing is like something else youre saying it actually IS something else only its not actually literal like if someone said 'this session is drowning in a sea of ineptitude' there is no actual sea and no one is actually drowning it just means theres a fuckload of ineptitude
