Never use this prepositional phrase around me.
Stating you mean something as a metaphor defies the purpose of using a metaphor.
"Her hair was but a blot of blue-black quill ink in the toehead blonde paper sheets of a crowd, in a metaphorical sense."
"In a metaphorical sense, his observant tendencies made his brain a filing cabinet of accumulated prior knowledge."
Those are not metaphors.

What about "metaphorically speaking"? Can we use that around you?
Just kidding. I know what you mean, though.
