i don't thing my aunt meant this comment to be quite so dirty

One time on MTV I saw a guy try to eat a whole jar of mayo for Korn tickets.

Mayo is my favorite condiment, it is wonderful. When I used to make tunafish my stepdad would always ask me if I wanted some tuna with my mayo.

 

[Firedwarf]

Could you eat a whole jar?

 

[The Dope]

Gross.

 

[Josh Seipp]

seriously think about eating a spoonful of mayo. I'll do it. I'll do it RIGHT NOW.

 

[Kitty Star]

I'm not sure I could eat a whole jar in one sitting but I do take spoon fulls when I'm using it for something else. I love mayo. I also eat butter in disgustingly large amounts. Once my friend dared me to eat a whole cube and I did. But that was my freshman year.

 

[Josh Seipp]

I'd definitely eat a whole cube of butter if I could sprinkle it with cinnamon sugar.

 

[Kitty Star]

It's good stuff. I'd totally do it again. I got $5 for doing something I practically do anyway. It ruled.

 

[Josh Seipp]

whoah! let's see if alex will pay us to eat mayo.

ps I also have been known to drink syrup if anyone wants to pay me to do that.

Dear english speakers, has a Tuna ever been anything else but a fish? Please explain.

 

[lizard]

you mean french folks don't use mayo with their tuna sandwiches????

garrrrrgh

 

[mindspell]

Lizars, yes we do. That was not the question.

mindspell: "tuna fish" refers to canned tuna. as you know, it's EXCEEDINGLY different from lovely red tuna steaks/tekka and therefore i support its usage.

kitty star: you are dead to me.

 

[mindspell]

I understand that it is very different but comes from the same source. Tuna steaks are fish steaks that happen to come from tuna no?

Tuna fish seems a bit repetitive to me

 

[xfer]

"fish" is a "winnowing" term in the language. it means that the basic root "tuna" does not necessarily signify the canned tuna, but the red, delicious fish flesh. ie, if i say to my roommate "let's have tuna for dinner", she thinks i mean the actual fish, not that gross canned stuff.

which i think is great, actually, and i would normally expect less from the American palate/psyche.

 

[mindspell]

The only problem I have with that rationale is that Tuna has not been readily available for Americans (us too) except for the very rich and the fishing area people (that actually fish Tuna) in any other form than the canned stuff until recently.

What about panda-bear or... or... Louis-dog?

 

[azal]

tuna and tuna fish always equates to canned stuff in my head.

tuna and tuna fish always equates to boxed stuff in my head.
