Talk:kettle of fish

Can anyone verify meaning 1 (an awkward situation) with a citation? I've never heard this meaning anywhere. Richard n 02:21, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Etymology
Chambers 1908 connects it to kiddle (a kind of fishweir) rather than the kettle used for cooking etc. Equinox ◑ 20:18, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
