To point out that two things are the same in a certain quality. For example: "James is as intelligent as Tom." James and Tom have the SAME level of intelligence. "My house is as cold as your house." My house and your house are equally cold. It can also be used to compare quantities of DIFFERENT qualities. This is often done with qualities that directly contrast (e.g. smart/stupid, hot/cold). For example: "James is as intelligent as Tom is stupid." James' level of intelligence is equal to Tom's level of stupidity. So if James if very intelligent then Tom is very stupid. "My house is as cold as your house is hot." My house's level of coldness is equal to your house's level of heat. If my house is very cold then your house is very hot. In the above examples, we are comparing positive extremes ("The house IS cold", "James IS intelligent). However, it can also be used in a more ironic way, with negative qualities. For example: "Kim Kardashian is as interesting as Verne Troyer is tall." Here we are insulting Kim Kardashian by comparing how interesting she is to how tall Verne Troyer is. Verne Troyer is a dwarf, so the implication is that Kim Kardashian is not intersting. This can be done with even more subtlety. For example: "Kim Kardashian is as interesting as Kanye West is a good rapper." Here we are insulting both Kim AND Kanye. We are saying that Kim Kardashian is not intersting and Kanye West is not a good rapper. Typically you signal the negative/ironic use of this comparison with a sarcastic tone of voice. If you say the Kim/Kanye comparsion with a sincere voice, people will think you are saying something positive about both of them. Note: In spoken English, we often drop the first "as". For example: "He's cool as ice."
