Jan 24	comment	When did ironic use of “as in” start? I'd say it was used this way from the start, since both of usages are actually the same. The irony comes from explaining something that has an obvious meaning with something else equally obvious. By the way, He's dead as in not alive may not be ironic at all, if dead have some special meaning in the context (e.g. some professional slang)

Nov 25	comment	Is there such a sentence — “I do what I am”? More like because none thought of putting it in words. I'm no expert on Freud, but as far as I know he tried to explain our every action as being dictated by our personality (or, to be precise, it's unconscious part).

Oct 26	comment	Origin of “kettle of fish” Yes, they did put fish in kettles. Original meaning of kettle is... pot (etymonline). Where else would you stew your favorite fish soup?
