The English language is lovely and can convey powerful meaning, but you have to understand what it is you say in order to make sense.
Being minimally acquainted with what a metaphor means is a prerequisite for making sense when you use it. Our education system and the demise of reading classical or historical literature diminishes our ability to properly use the tools our language gives us.

You've got a bit of pomposity going there, don't you? I need no lessons from you in either English or armaments.
