Congratulations, you have just discovered what a figure of speech is.
Seems to me like you were trying to attack or "gotcha" a non-native English speaker based on an expression he used, but that you didn’t understand.
Well that was not the case. You shouldn't have been able to see that from my very first comment.

his statement made sense to me. i think he meant what he meant.
im noticing a pattern that you seem to take things quite literally.
excessively literalist, in the sense that you tend to prefer literal interpretations of words and utterances, even when speakers intend to be understood non-literally
Once again, you're wrong. I know he wasn't being literal and I don't take everything literally. Once again, since you seem to have missed it, it would have made more sense for him to have used a word that would actually be found in the kitchen.
Since the person I was originally talking to isn't responding or explaining, I'm done here. This is too much spam.
