Figure of speech (sometimes mixed) (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

metaphor

(Other definitions for metaphor that I've seen before include "That's not to be taken literally" , "Top harem is a figure of speech" , "Captain of industry, eg" , "Figure of speech suggesting something really is what it resembles" , "Analogy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
