Searches for the term "hunting geese with a rake" on google return only two matches. Both of those are quotations by David Crosby.
That was a term I heard when I was in college back in Montana in my younger days, and I was surprised at how uncommon it is on today's internet.
Thus, I'm mentioning it here to see if I can become the definitive reference for the term on the intarweb.
Oh, and the term is used by potheads to describe how high they are. Get it? Not that funny, I guess.

In 1946, George Orwell wrote Politics and the English Language, some of which explains the use of metaphor:
Where in the continuum does this metaphor sit?
I'm not going to answer that question yet. However, I just want to note that this page is now the #1 result in google for the term "hunting geese with a rake" (all in quotes). It's #3 if you search for that term without quotes.
So this site is now the definitive reference for that term.
