Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast! He's done him like a kipper there! The lad rose like a kipper. Haha!

The only type of kip i know are kipping pullups :P

A kipper is a herring or salmon that has been split, salted, and smoked. This used to be part of a traditional English breakfast along with eggs, bacon, sausages and toast. What you have for breakfast may seem strange to others, it comes down to personal preferences.

"Done up like a kipper" means caught in the act, caught red-handed doing something wrong or put in a position of no hope.

'to stitch someone up' means 'to betray a person by fabricating evidence against them; to manipulate a situation to one's advantage.' This would give the 'stitch' in 'stitched up like a kipper' the double meaning of both being confined by being sewn in and at the same time having been tricked."
