Like afish out of water意思

"Like a fish out of water" is an English idiom that means someone is in an unfamiliar or uncomfortable situation, just as a fish would be if it were taken out of its natural environment, water. It suggests that the person is awkward, uncomfortable, or ill at ease. The phrase can be used to describe someone who lacks the skills or knowledge to function effectively in a particular context or who is simply out of their depth.
