Hello,
I saw in "Friends" serial. Monica was saying:

Have you ever heard of a "key" (type of food)? It's what some people sing in.

What does she mean by "sing in"?

In music a key is the major or minor scale around which a piece of music revolves.

If you sing in the key of C (for instance) it means that the song is centred around C.

Was Monica making a joke about "Key Lime, which is a different kind of "key??"

I am being dumb.

Of course it is about music.
That was a reply from Monica about Phebey's music. She does not sing in to anything.

thanks,

Alex.
