| Nov 18 at 15:24 | comment | added | Nuclear Hoagie | I don't really get how or why this phrase would be linked to this meaning. It sounds like the interpretation is "fish [aren't always] fried in the kitchen, [they can be found frying somewhere else]", rather than "fish don't fry in the kitchen [at all]". But where else do fish fry, if not in the kitchen? You don't randomly find fish frying in places where you do not expect them, I don't see why this phrase would connote something found in an unexpected place. It strikes me as a very strange metaphor to liken the Jeffersons to a fish being fried outside of a kitchen. | |

| Nov 16 at 15:12 | comment | added | Tinfoil Hat | @Obie2.0 — Yes, 100% hallucination on “Joe C. Turner.” And there is zero evidence on the entire internets (including academic databases) that the phrase “Fish don’t fry in the kitchen” existed anywhere prior to the theme song. Wish I could downvote this twice for its spread of AI-generated misinformation/nonsense. | |
| Nov 16 at 15:04 | comment | added | Obie 2.0 | In point of fact, I think it's your first line, not either of the dubious AI interpretations, that is closest to correct. One would expect baked beans to burn if prepared on a grill with high temperatures and uneven heating, too. | |

| Nov 15 at 21:52 | comment | added | Tinfoil Hat | Wow, both those sources sound like utter nonsense. | |
| Nov 15 at 21:47 | comment | added | birdpoolcleaner | I think this is a very good answer. It makes total sense. I will wait some more. I cannot upvote, as I am a newbie. | |
