Not anything like


Also, nothing like; not anywhere near; nowhere near. Quite different from, far from; also, not nearly. For example, The town’s library isn’t anything like the university’s library, or His outfit was nothing like his brother’s, or It isn’t anything like as cold as it was last winter, or That movie isn’t anywhere near as exciting as I thought it would be, or Her diamond is nowhere near as big as mine. The phrases with like date from the late 1700s, and those with near from the mid-1400s.
