Re: where´s my fish?
One more perspective on this. I'm a native speaker of English and I surveyed a handful of native English speakers around me from age 16 to 52 with the following results:
"where's my fish" and "he's my penguin" :
No one had any idea what these meant.
We all agreed that "there are more fish in the sea" is a common saying and that if someone then responded "Where's my fish" it would make sense. But without context, it didn't strike us as something people would understand. No one got the penguin reference at all. And though we are all Friends fans, we couldn't remember the lobster episode either.
