Analogies #1

for you

which goes without saying. But you felt the need to say it anyway.

well 7 other people thought it was a good thing to say so maybe he did need to say it

No need to be a snob

Look at me I'm so smart

There's no need for you guys to be whining either.

Mundo was all I could come up with ... dang

And then you should also accept Jord.

You can find some great Portuguese-inspired bakeries in the Chinese one, though.

I heard of kicking the bucket so I was trying to think of expression with bought, that meant the same thing, but couldnt think of any. Never heard of it before.

Half right I guess ;)

Thanks for that explanation, wolfcat95; I had never heard the expression either.

Thanks. I used to teach analogies back when they were on the SAT. The rule of thumb - make a sentence, then use the same words to make a sentence with the other set. That's one way to discover the analogy. I've done about 9 of these so far - good stuff.

I'm gonna be pedantic, but this is JetPunk after all.. While I agree that Hector is objectively the greatest Trojan hero, it's a bit reductive to say that Aeneas "fled the fighting to sail for Italy" (besides the fact that "Italy" did not exist as such at that time). Albeit a minor character in the Iliad, he is a principal lieutenant of Hector, and participates to several attacks, including against Achilles. He is commanded by the gods to flee Troy only after the city was lost and burning after the horse trick. But yes, Hector would be the clearly correct answer here.
