Pronunciation: err ro er

Sentence: Fish parents are no different from human parents. They salmon the courage to spawn (just for the halibut) or to have small fry. They are the sole providers to ungrateful offspring. These kids become hard of herring when they become teenagers and the little shrimp are often smelt before they are seen. They can be crabs, they skate, wear a mullet, plaice great importance on their friends at school and sing out of tuna. Yes, parenthood is a game of trawl and erroer.

Etymology: Error (mistake) & Roe (fish eggs or egg-filled ovary)

Pronunciation: fish ap poynt ment

Sentence: Eddy & Molly had high hopes for their young fry, Gill. But time after time he created fishappointment in his parents by repeating their errors. Like most tuna-aged offspring, he skipped school, wore a mullet and a sole-patch, his room smelt and he swore just for the halibut. His parents were fishsatisfied with his behaviour and to avoid further fishcontent, they carped at him until he got a job. He was a fishgruntled bass-tard at first, but finally found his porpoise and plaice as a spawn-broker.

Etymology: Fish (any of various mostly cold-blooded aquatic vertebrates usually having scales and breathing through gills) & Disappointment (a feeling of dissatisfaction that results when your expectations are not realized)
