No, but they do symbolize the things they represent. That's actually where that word comes from.

When your parents buy you a Hot Wheels set for your 18th birthday, and say, "What are you waiting for? Hit the road, [freehunter]!" you'll be fine. It symbolizes transportation.

When your brother aims down the sights at you in Call of Duty and - gulp - pulls the trigger, you'll necessarily have him sent to jail.

That's okay, though - when you're counting on your fingers and get to three, and... hey.. are your thumb and index kinda.. touching? you'll be right there with him.
