Why do some people insist on referring to Tuna as Tuna Fish?
 

Everyone knows Tuna is a Fish, you idiots.


We don't say 'chicken bird' or 'beef cow' now, do we?


Same thing with ATM Machine.

or HIV virus

"The fruit of prickly pears, commonly called cactus figs, Indian fig or tuna is edible"

so maybe to differentiate between tuna fish and tuna fruit?

It seems to be an American thing - I notice it a lot when watching CSI etc.

to differentiate from Im going to tune a piano

Or in my case big cock.

Wouldn't want people to think it was Tuna Bird.

thanks Woj, I always wondered why it was la tuna canyon.... now it makes sense. -bmb

Probably to differentiate between a really nasty pussy and a tuna sandwich.

I ate some horrible tuna last night.
