I love the etymology of phrases like that. Very cool.
Relevant story:
My wife's cousin LOVES sushi. She ate it daily until she got mercury poisoning.
She was sharp as a knife but all of a sudden started forgetting things and her wit left her. Thankfully, her husband made her go see a doctor and they figured out the cause.
Full recovery but that shit is scary.
Oooh. That's a good reminder. I eat a fair amount of fish and try to be aware of that. Some fish have much less mercury than others.
