@Chaz: Try as I might, I couldn't see the word "define" anywhere near that sentence of simple commentary. But perhaps your eyes are better than mine.
You didn't notice the word 'is' Peter?
Usage: Used in sentences for identification or definition of a subject.

Life is a bowl of cherries.
Peter is a big boo-boo brain.
Chaz is a useless troll.
These are all definitions?
Ben is deluded.
