Examples

“He always had a girl on his arm – he's a bit of a babe magnet.”

“Iron⟳ and coal were the magnets that drew railways to this land⟳ of lovely valleys and silent mountains—for such it was a century-and-a-half ago, before man blackened the valleys with the smoke⟳ of his forges, scarred the green hills with his shafts and waste-heaps, and drove the salmon from the quiet Rhondda and the murmuring Taff.”

“Again, dude? Man, you just a MAGNET for trouble⟳!”

“[…] I wanted to show⟳ Nick the largest of the water holes, Rigueik, that act as magnets to life in the dry season.”

“Regular baths will help⟳ keep⟳ your dog clean⟳ and fresh-smelling. The frequency will depend⟳ entirely on your own⟳ preferences as well as how much of a mud-magnet your dog is!”

“Magnets are thus used to create⟳ a package of cryptologic information and bundling^([sic]) it together.”
