The conjunction 'as though' is used in a very similar way to 'as if' to describe something by comparing it to an unreal, hypothetical, or exaggerated situation. It can imply that the comparison is not factual, express doubt, or, less commonly, introduce a possible real comparison. It is generally followed by a clause, often using a past tense for unreal meanings.
