Porpoising Walrus

What is Porpoising Walrus?

1.

A suspiciously inept simile (or metaphor)

The original: "Closer inspection revealed that the rest of the body was encased in 2-3 feet of ice, the body prostrate, suspended into the ice like a porpoising walrus." -- Charlie LeDuff, Detroit News, 28 January 2009

Laurel Fortuner, 1992 Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest winner: ". . . her creamy bosom rising and falling like a temperamental souffle . . ."

Excellent porpoising walrus, Ms. Fortuner!
