4) [zazen666] 3-10-2007(18): Think of knocking over a big jar of dill pickles and spilling water everywhere, then blaming your friend.

5) [gavmck] 23-12-2009(14): During pickling, water is drawn out of the vegetable or fruit. Thus the pickling agent (miso, salt etc.) is responsible (to blame) for robbing the pickled item of its water.
