How does "fry" not seem to relate to "fire" and how does "broil" not seem to relate to heated oil?

Because ‘fry’ comes from the Greek ‘phrygein’ which was the name of a shallow pan in which food was cooked. Similarly, ‘broil’ comes from the Old French ‘brusler’, meaning ‘to burn’.

You’re always going on about evolution. Maybe it’s time you understood that language evolves.

How do you refer to yourself as either Rational or Poet?

Brian' s use of English for poetry is not unlike Dr. Frankenstein's use of electricity to re- animate corpses.

That is - just enough knowledge to cause a horrific outcome......
