But is it "toona" or "chyuna"?

[–] GreenDust@lemmings.world 3 points 2 days ago

Absolutely not

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

/ˈtjuːnə/

Come to think of it, we do say "tuna fish sandwich", but we also say "tuna salad sandwich".

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 2 points 2 days ago

Also soda-pop.

[–] krow@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

theyre just trying to make it sound right :^)

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

It's about conversational cadence. If it was descriptive it would be a hyphenate.

Isn't there a famous clip of one of the Kardashians asking if tuna was chicken?

They don’t have to say “tuna fish”. Most don’t, as far as I know. Who are you hanging out with that you think it’s somehow mandatory?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I am having tuna fish as opposed to tuna steak.

Why do they call their babies "Baby Joe" or "Baby Velma"? We know they are babies. Do they also call them "Young Adult Joe", and "Middle Aged Velma"?

Mutton goat is the best meat. I've always said that mutton is GOAT.

Given the tvp shenanigans that food manufacturers have tried to pass off and you have to ask? And BTW, dolphin is not a fish

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago

In the Netherlands people say koi karper. But koi means karper in Japanese, so basically people say karker karper. It's stupid.

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 1 points 2 days ago

Ever hear of the tuna piano, OOP?

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

They also love saying Koala Bear (they aren't a bear) and Dingo Dog. No, they're just koalas and dingoes. Americans just seem to like adding words where they aren't necessary. My pet hate is "off of", as in "Take your shoes off of the table!" No, just take them off the table, no need for redundancy.

Same thing as "left-hand side". You're not children anymore, you can just say left side.

Would "left-foot side" make sense? Would it be different from the hand?

[–] Jyek@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

Left-hand side is like saying your left, not mine. You could also say on your left but then again, English has lots of ways to say lots of things.

[–] troglodytis@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

That's "chicken bird for midday lunch," Carl.

[–] pigup@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago
[–] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

It's to make sure we know we're having tuna fish instead of tuna of the land, which is what we call chicken.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 days ago

Next up: seafood. Its just meat from the water.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I want me a big cow steak with a side of shrimp shrimp. Could you crumble some pig bacon on it?

[–] Janx@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago

I'd rather have a steak cow.
