Erroer: /err ro er/ 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) Created by: Nosila.
