What does Stirred the pot mean?
At first I thought "stir" means "mix".
I think if it means "mix", I wonder the phrase is"stirred the marmalade" but not the pot.
So I thought it might be the meaning of "shake".
but I think it is wrong, because she took a wooden spoon.
So I am confused.
What does "stir" mean?
- German
- English (UK) Near fluent
stir means to move something, like a spoon or ladle in something, for example soup or marmalade, to mix it. "The pot" doesn't mean the pot itself but the pot with the marmalade inside.

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason

Actually stir does mean mix, so you were right the first time 😂😂
When it says "she stirred the pot", it means that she stirred what was inside the pot.
Hope I helped! ☺️
