I have invented a new grammatical construct: the semile.
A semile is a figure of speech that indirectly compares two different things by employing the words "like", "as", or "than", but leaves the basis for the comparison up to the listener's imagination.
Examples:
"He's as quick as"
"He's like, y'know".
