Simile/metaphor/sarcasm/humor/irony/+ are basic problems for machines
because they are deliberately inflicted with the "disability" of
"semantic/pragmatic" or taking things literally. *How* it's "raining"
(whether "cats & dogs" or "a cow pissing on a flat rock") is an example of
the poor computer girding its defenses for animal attacks when flooding is
the potential problem.
