{{trope}}
[[File:sink 6094.jpg|frame|And now, this Trope is complete.]]
Every time someone [[Tempting Fate|refers to the expression]] 'everything but the kitchen sink' in any way, shape or fashion, an [[Literal Metaphor|actual, literal kitchen sink]] will inevitably appear. This trope is almost always [[Played for Laughs]], especially in cartoons.
The original expression is an idiom of unknown origin but originating in the early 20th century, meaning "everything that wasn't bolted down". Kitchen sinks are not only bolted down, but connected to the plumbing.
