I'm stuck at home for about an hour so I thought it might be fun to make fun of the stupid things we see and hear in this hobby. I've mentioned a few on other posts before but I thought it might be fun starting a thread about this subject.
I'll start with a few....
Fish names; Guffy or Tuffy = Guppy, Inmates = convicts, Red belly taco = Pacu, Annie Oakly = Heniochus, Chicklit = Cichlid, gormy = gourami
People mispronounce wrasse and pronounce it "wa - see" (god I hate that one)
anemone is "sea enemy" All the time hearing about someone's "volushion" Lion, How many ways have you heard Jurapari pronounced? How 'bout plecostomus? (plavotamus, scum sucker.)
I had one guy tell me he had clamydia (an STD) in his aquarium, it turned out to be calerupa he was talking about. I really lost it on that one.
Let's hear some one elces.....
