Figurative Language

figurative- not in its literal sense; metaphorical.

figure of speech- an expression, as a metaphor or simile, using words in a nonliteral sense or unusual way.

imagery- mental images, or figurative language.

trope- figurative language or a word used in a figurative sense.

They all do not use a literal sense, but instead use something that is metaphorical or they use words in a different way.
