Today, I had to slowly explain to my son that an "analogy" is a literary device, not a genre of porn. FML

How old was your son that he didn't know what an analogy was, but he watches ****?

18 too old to know what an analogy is? either you aren't familiar with today's american youth, or you're weirdly optimistic!

If he watched ****, he would know that it isn't a genre because it doesn't appear on **** sites.

Haha are you serious? You didnt watch **** till you were 18??? Were you homeschooled??

@49 Really? You are now mocked at for not watching ****? And even then the standard is watching it before you are 18? Hmmm, If I am correct you have to be at least 18 to watch "mature content".... And so what if they were homeschooled. I bet they learned the word analogy before 5th grade. Now this is a true "I don't want to live on this planet anymore"

Because its a normal part of natural discovery, which most people get shown by one of their friends. If someone has not seen it by 18, people will assume they've been hidden from the world, or they have no friends..

#59 you watched **** with your friends? I guess there's nothing like a bunch of boys all getting a stiffy, right? Oh! Oh! Did you have a jacking circle?

No, #16, you were wrong. That was dumb.

I find it funny that so many people are unhappy with me disagreeing with myself. Though, admittedly, I was right the first time.... Sorry if I'm giving anyone whiplash!

...why would you disagree with yourself by sort of pretending to be someone else but still using the same account? Why not say 'oops, sorry, I was wrong'? What you did was kinda retarded, especially if you thought you were right the first time. I'm having a hard time getting my head round your motive for posting these comments.

Because I was not pretending to be someone else and I was very tired, so I did believe I was wrong. I just didn't feel like being boring about correcting myself. Only after I got some sleep did I realize I was, in fact, right the first time. So, that was my "motive." To take over the world.

Did you use an analogy to explain it to him?

Appeal to him through the mnemonic method. Teach him to remember that an analogy is a literary device closely related to ****. He's sure to remember, and his teacher will definitely be impressed.
