It is close to the figure of speech called simile.

But I have not heard of such a simile if it is one.

P.S. OK, it is from the play, the 'Man for all Seasons' and it means a woman
is infertile

not a teacher

It's a simile, and thanks for the source, but it hasn't caught on and isn't in general use.
