Sockeye Salmon. The real question we should be asking though is why it is spelled with an “L.”
I think it’s cool that fish and butterflies have scales
Wow, that just blew my mind.
I guess there’s reptiles, too
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”? 😂
Don’t worry salmon, I will show you just after I get this BBQ going
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.
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.
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.
Been pronouncing the L up to now?
yeah and will continue to do so.
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 out salmon in the fish tacos!”
Because that’s the color you turn before you mate
Still involves the fish dying
Just in the circle of life mate(sinister snicker)
Yeah but fucking so hard you die is something to be proud of.

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.
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
silver lining
Again with the word choice!
