If anything, that might be a good way to sorta explain to a family or friend what ocd is like. That's like a tangible reference for someone who doesn't have it to sorta grasp the idea of it. It's always been super hard for me to explain it to people in my life. Compulsions are sorta easy for others to see. (Unless you were like me and did them in secret.) The O part is trickier to understand. I think it's hard for people with ocd to understand themselves what's going on, which is why our brain loops out ideas. So someone who doesn't suffer from it, these kinda metaphors can be helpful.
