Question

Hello! What does it mean:
"Spoken like a true Portia"
  

Top answer

I would imagine it refers to Portia in Shakespeare's 'The Merchant of Venice'. You can find out a lot about her from Wikipedia or elsewhere but essentially she is strong, wise, generous and sharp-witted. The speaker may have behaved in such a way in saying whatever it is that they have said!
