Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The phrase happy as a clam in high water is a simile that is used to describe a person who is happy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Similes. In a simile we compare one thing to another using the words ‘like’ or ‘as’ to make our language more expressive. So, if you’re really happy, you could say something like ‘I’m as happy as a pig in mud’ or ‘I’m as happy as Larry’.
Detailed explanation-3: -As it turns out, happy as a clam is little more than half of the original saying, the full simile being happy as a clam at high tide.
