[ Here's your friendly neighborhood blonde ninja with a BURNING question for you all. ]

All right, I have to know. Why is it that people say "tuna fish" and not just "tuna"? You don't say "cat mammal" or "eagle bird". You just say the name of it. Even with other fish you don't do that! Why do people say "tuna fish"? It doesn't make any sense.

Is this some kind of weird English thing?

Really? So it's not English after all ... that's what you speak normally, right?

Well, I can speak everything, but I suppose you could say I default to English. I mean, I live in England more than any other places, so yeah, sure.

That's why I said normally.

[ Said with that "alright-we-get-it-you're-immortal-and-stuff" sigh. ]

But it is a thing people say for some reason. Elsewhere, I guess.

Now now, miss huffy.

That's...really strange. I mean, why would you need to specify that it's a fish? It's obviously a fish.
