Barbara Thorndyke: Blanche, the waves are a metaphor. You see a metaphor...
Blanche: I know what a metaphor is dear, I'm not a dummy.
Rose: Blanche, what's a metaphor?
Blanche: It's when you use a phrase to mean something else. Like when I say "men are blinded by my beauty". They're not really blinded. They get their sight back in a day or two.

Dorothy: You know, I think I saw Jack and Janet give Chrissy this treatment on an episode of Three's Company.
Blanche: Oh, at last a reference from Dorothy that even we illiterates can understand.
Rose: I guess her well of knowledge has run dry. That's a metaphor, Dorothy.
And the scene:
I hate that damn Barbara Thorndyke!Damn her!
