...1. Fox 2. Fiddle 3. Fish 4. Flower This expression has been traced back to the seventeenth century. The meaning of 'fit' in the saying was not originally related to health but meant 'suitable' as in 'fit for its purpose'. Another expressions with the same meaning are 'fit as a butcher's dog', likely to be the best fed animal around, and 'fit as a flea'. Foxes are usually proverbially described as 'sly' or 'cunning' and you can be 'a fish out of water', when you are in a situation where you are not comfortable or 'drink like a fish' if you are too fond of alcohol. 'Flowery talk' refers to speeches which have little substance and a 'late bloomer' is someone who has success later in life.
