I guess it depends on your dictionary. I didn't see it in Webster's. You must be using a special, childish, name-calling version.

In any language an adverb modifies a verb. In the sentence, "He jumped quickly," the adverb "quickly" tells the reader how the verb "jumped" happened.

Very nice; you must have picked up on the hidden clue.\n\nFrankly, it all depends.  I personally am not very found of grammatical rules, as they seem to be inherently limiting.  As far as I am concerned, you can throw the majority of those rules out the window, as long as you can express yourself clearly and be easily understood.   Case in point: Linguists and English professors do NOT usually make great writers, do they?   In principle, of course, one can always make a strong formal English punctuation argument in favor of your choice "b".  But to me "a" looks much "prettier".   So the question is: Should we keep shoving food into our mouths, mindlessly chewing, and promptly swallowing till our stomachs are full, or should we try to eat less, but eat with our eyes and palates too?   I suppose, it all depends on the circumstances and your point of view.   For instance, if you end up in a hospital with a sever case of malnutrition and dehydration, they “ain’t” “gonna” care much about how you are gonna eat or drink, as long as they end up pumping enough liquids and nutrients into you to save your life.   ... The punctuation waters start getting even murkier as more and more people begin to impose their own rules and restrictions on-line.   Ironically-enough (notice I said Ironically-enough and NOT anomalously-enough LOL) take your own example in this here on-line Y!A milieu, for instance.    The Y!A software will automatically add a question mark (i.e. a "?") to the end of every statement posted, no matter what you do, and be it really a question or NOT!  (And still, they dare to complain that some of those questions aren’t exactly questions)!  LOL    Hence, in a Y!A environment at least, both your choices would be forced into a punctually incorrect stratosphere (for "a" would become "lovelorn"??, and "b" would be transformed into "lovelorn?"?) and the only correct choice would appear to be “the initially incorrect one”, namely just “lovelorn”.  … Now, go figure!   LOL     … Yes my friend, even the oracle should strive for anomalism, at times.  :-)

Anything with as or like is not a metaphor. Those are similes. Metaphors are "the wind was his friend; the clouds were the giant's pillows"   they compare two things without using as or like.

In what context?\n\nHow have you heard this phrase used - on the face of it, it doesn't make sense

There is no egg in eggplant or ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins were not invented in England nor french fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies, while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write, but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce, and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So, one moose, 2 meese? One index, two indices? Is cheese the plural of choose? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? \n\nIn what language do people recite at a play, and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? Park on driveways and drive on parkways? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell another? When a house burns up, it burns down. You fill in a form by filling it out and an alarm clock goes off by going on. When the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.\n\nAnd why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this answer, I end it?

In layman's term's, it means "at face value."  I saw if a lot when I had to study the penal code in the police academy.  For example, in a trespassing case, if someone were trespassing in an area that was fenced in with a No Trespassing sign posted, both the fence and the sign would serve as prima facia evidence of the trespass in establishing probable cause for an arrest.  I hope this helps.

It depends on which is the "subject", and which is the "predicate". "With" would presume association, whilst "By" would suggest Participation.
