Erroer

Created by: Nosila

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.

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)
