OK. Let's start with a simple word like baby.

I say "baby"

You say "cat"

They're unrelated. You really couldn't argue the cat-baby connection since cat-kitten would be the correct connection.
[However, for sake of argument, both babies and cats are mammals...so that would end the game, if I understand you. But to continue...]

And then somebody else says "apple." I doubt apples could be applied to cats unless there is some cat with an apple out there in history or literature.

Is this the idea?

After "apple," maybe "wind"...

Something like that...but ending up with "baby"? (But with people arguing in between that there are connections?)
