Welcome to English in a Minute!
A frying pan is used to cook food in very hot oil. But what does it mean to go from the frying pan and into the fire?
A: James is really not happy.
D: What is the problem this time?
A: He complained that his office was too noisy and too bright.
D: Where did they move him?
A: Downstairs in the basement with no windows, no people. He hates it.
D: Sounds like he went from the frying pan and into the fire.
To go from the frying pan and into the fire means you have left a bad situation only to find yourself in an even worse situation. You thought things were going to improve, but the opposite happened.
