The Meaning of 'kettle'

I never quite figured this saying out. I've heard it once or twice before but I've heard it today directed at me.

Serving a customer as usual and she starts calling me 'kettle'? What is it supposed to mean?

Are you sure it wasn't "petal"?

You go off the boil too easily? Are these sexual customers by any chance?

cherryghost · 13-10-2011 12:37pm

Nope, definitely 100% 'kettle'

Were you boiling water at the time?

Old people just have a habit of calling others kitchen untilities.

My parents say I've a head like a siv, but they can fork off.

She was clearly nuts and probably escaped from the local lunatic asylum. There was a full moon last night and they all go a bit lunar.
