Toraphor
A figure of speech involving the comparison of one cute thing with another cute thing of a different kind, used to make a description even more cute, emphatic, or vivid. Comparable to a simile in that the comparison typically involves the words "like" or "as", however it also should include the word "little" as an adjective to emphasize cuteness.
