Anthropomorphic – Anthropomorphic is defined as the act of giving the characteristics of humans to other things. eg. The pictures of God that depict Him with human male characteristics without indication or evidence that his appearance is that of an evolutionary current human.

This metaphor is trying to compare a male human or animals acceleration to the lightning speed of a bullet which could travel up to 1,700 mph and 2,500 feet per second which is very unlikely for a human or animal to run.
