“I couldn’t believe those words were coming out of his mouth. I was waiting for his nose to shoot out like Pinocchio’s. I already knew the truth, which, I just think, made it worse.

What literary device is this? Flashback, foreshadowing, repetition, dialect, idiom, oxymoron, personification, anthropomorphism, or onomatopoeia

I would say idiom because the text says “ I was waiting for his nose to shoot out LIKE pinocchios” similes use like or as to compare things.
