"chewing on a handkerchief" is a chewing on a metaphor because a metaphor is when a figure of speech is used, when it is not literally meant, on the other hand a simile is when you compare 2 stuff. This is why "chewing on a handkerchief" is a metaphor.

Chewing on a handkerchief is a metaphor because it does not contain like or as.
