Because that’s the color you turn before you mate
Still involves the fish dying
Don’t have to tell him that part, nor the agonizing journey along the way, just sell the silver lining. If you can make it a subscription that he can’t easily get out of.
silver lining
Again with the word choice!
Sprint yourself to starvation then bust at the finish line and die.
Salmon are so based for doing this so I can have lox on my bagel
Everyone loves lox
what is your email & phone number Mr Salmon sir
SingingSalmon@shootyourshot.com Am I going to get an opportunity like those bass did?
Yeah but fucking so hard you die is something to be proud of.
Death by Snu Snu
except they don’t fuck, they just cum in the water and die
That’s a lot closer to fucking than what I get.
Just in the circle of life mate(sinister snicker)
Duh? Otherwise the Salmon would already know why.
Sockeye Salmon. The real question we should be asking though is why it is spelled with an “L.”
why is knife spelt with a k?
why is hour spelt with an h?
Why is wednesday pronounced wendsday?
Just is. Michael McIntyre did a good bit about this.
all of these is because modern english went to shit and we should all go back to middle english and actually pronounce those letters. All the other germanic languages pronounce those letters, why must english be all weird and special?
Because you’re absolutely delicious
Either rude or weird. Depends on how you mean it 😄
I still need to process that it is supposed to be pronounced “samon” according this other meme.
More “samun”, (/ˈsæmən/) because the last syllable turns into a “schwa”, the default unemphasized vowel sound in English.
Any English vowel can be a schwa if you’re brave enough
In Kiwi English the “u” in “focus” and the “i” in “kit” both have the same vowel sound and they’re both roughly a “schwa”. That’s brave.
that’s breve
is the term called a “schwa” or does the vowel literaly turn into “schwa”? I can not tell if your’re serious.
A schwa is a vowel sound. It’s the sound English uses for unstressed syllables. It sits right in the middle of the IPA vowel chart, which basically means it’s the easiest sound to make. Your tongue is in a central position, and your mouth isn’t open wide or closed.
Many letters in English words tend towards being pronounced as a “schwa” when they’re not the key syllable in the word.
For example, if you say “I gave him a present” the first ‘e’ in “present” is emphasized and the second isn’t, so the second tends to be pronounced as a “schwa”. But, if you say “I had to present the documents”, it’s the second “e” that is emphasized, and the first one turns into a schwa.
It’s also why the English article “a” and “the” are both frequently pronounced the same way (as a schwa) despite using different vowels. The articles “a” and “the” are very rarely emphasized in a sentence, and words that aren’t emphasized have their pronunciation drift towards the easy-to-pronounce schwa.
It’s the first syllable in “salmon” that’s emphasized, so the second isn’t really pronounced as an “o”, (whatever that means) it’s pronounced as a schwa instead.
ohh. so short voiceful exhaling. interesting
Been pronouncing the L up to now?
I have pronounced the L in salmon since the episode of King of the Hill where Octavio starts hanging out with Hank all the time.
“Salmon, Hank! They put salmon in the fish tacos!”
The 2 Angry Beavers did it first. I think it was Dagget that always pronounced the L in salmon. They lived in fear of the salmon spawn run. The salmon would tear their dam/home apart.
And who could ever forget their #1 hit single, Beaver Fever, so smoky and sexy.
yeah and will continue to do so.
Or could it be that the place and time when salmon are easily seen by people is spawning season and at least some of the species turn a bright “salmon pink/red” colour at that time? They are dying then as well, but naturally, so it is still and end of life colour for them.
Why does it say “Source: US government”? 😂
probs from the pic of the fishy.
Fun (not fun) fact: farmed salmon meat is gray, so they put coloring agents in their feed to turn it into the color we expect it to be.
many places do similar things to regular beef, special atmosphere in the packaging and injecting the meat with stuff that makes it redder and/or keeps the colour for longer.
Don’t worry salmon, I will show you just after I get this BBQ going
I think it’s cool that fish and butterflies have scales
Wow, that just blew my mind.
I guess there’s reptiles, too
