I like to intentionally use "like an animal" or "like animals" for totally inappropriate subjects.

A friend of mine was complaining that he didn't get a straw with his drink at a sit-down restaurant so I said "You don't have to drink with straw like an animal."

"Sleeping in tents like animals" is another great one.

When we were discussing whether games should have different difficulties, I made a food analogy. I don't like spicy food, and there was a sandwich at a restaurant looked great except for the spicy sauce on it. I argued that I should be allowed to order that sandwich without the spicy sauce, without being told that the original version was how the creator intended it.

I can see that working for an argument in favour of accessibility options in games.

I'm quite fond of my "I don't have to be a chef to object if you serve me a dog turd in a hot dog roll" analogy for people who bitch that you can't judge someone unless you are capable of doing the exact same thing they do, only better.
