Name of The Tie
It has alternately been proposed that the name "kipper tie" is a reference to the extreme breadth of the tie resembling a kipper, or a sly reference to the designer, whose last name, Fish, was evocative of a kipper. Perhaps the tag derives from the Spoonerisation of Piccadilly as "Kippadilly".

“Helpless and overwrought,
she would fasten
the rope-noose about the beam
above her bride-couch
and tie it to her white throat....”
