The term "sick as a pike" likely originates from the behavior of northern pike fish when caught, as they thrash around violently and may appear sick or unwell. Alternatively, it could be a reference to the parasitic diseases that pike are known to carry, which can make them appear unhealthy. The phrase is used metaphorically to describe someone who is very ill or unwell.
