Conceit is a literary and rhetorical term for an elaborate or strained figure of speech, usually a metaphor or simile. Also called a strained metaphor or radical metaphor.
If youâre always boasting and canât stop talking about yourself, you have that character flaw known as conceit. Your friends â if you have any â may also complain about your arrogance, vanity, and egotism. A conceit can also be an artistic device â probably a little forced â like the plot of a movie built on the conceit of everything that happens being foretold in song.
