  En parte hay que darles la razón, supongo: si los hablantes optan por decir de alguien bien plantado que “está como un queso” o que es un “yogurín”, ya puedo opinar yo que el símil está mal traído (hay miles de quesos, y algunos de aspecto y olor nauseabundos) o que el segundo término es pueril y ñoño y quizá efímero, que no me queda sino aguantarme y aceptarlos.
  Partly you have to agree with them, I guess: if the speakers opt to say of someone good-looking that they “look dishy” [Literally, “are like a cheese”] or are a “toyboy”, then I can say that the simile is ill-formed (there are thousands of cheeses, and some look and smell nauseating) or that the second term is puerile and sappy and maybe ephemeral, that I just have to put up with it and accept them.
