 Re: Hit with a fish
I've not heard that saying before, but hitting someone with a fish is not a very normal thing to do. How do you think someone would react if you hit them with a fish? They'd probably just stare at you in shock and surprise, because it would be totally unexpected.
It is possible that the writer was thinking of a Monty Python sketch about the "fish-slapping dance". Two men face each other on the shore of a lake (or something), and the fish-slapping dance music starts up. One of the dancers dances around in time to the music and slaps the other repeatedly in the face with two small fish. Then the other man produces a very big, heavy fish and wallops the first man with it, knocking him into the water. |
