Compare the above metaphors embedded in ASL, with examples of ubiquitous English metaphors below:
TIME IS MONEY
-I can't spend more time with you!
-That's not worth the time
-I invested too much time in that relationship

-I shot down his argument
-Her claim is indefensible
-He tried attacking my position
IDEAS ARE BUILDINGS
-He tore down that antiquated theory
-Let's build on that idea
