When I was a kid, this confused me. I think if you are going to call something "fried" it is closer to fire than being boiled in oil.
I understand, I think. It's like how people live in a house, which sounds like 'mouse', but I've never known a mouse to come equipped with a kitchen. Also, why do we have a 'living' room? Does that mean that particular room is alive, and all the other ones are dead, or that we shouldn't be alive if we go into any other rooms?
