Behind the Eight-Ball(6)

There is still another expression in English that means you are in trouble. You are in a "fine kettle of fish." Now, this expression was first used 200 years ago by British writers. One story says that it comes from an early British custom of cooking fish in huge pots of kettles. The cooked fish were served at parties along the river. As the story goes, a cook did something wrong, producing a kettle of fish that no one could eat. That cook was surely in trouble for his "fine kettle of fish."
We still use all these expressions today. In fact, I will be in a "fine kettle of fish," or "in a pretty pickle," and probably "behind the eight-ball" if I don't end this story now.
