Are there other Latin dialects named after different fish?

I refuse to start the fish puns.

I doubt if a bit of cod Latin would have that effect. Mind you, it did end a Prime Minister's career, so you might have a point.

Yes but if we can't have vicarious expertise, then there is no expertise. And NO FORUM Brian.

Who on the forum is claiming *expertise* outside of their own area of, erm, expertise? (I'm going to spoil your joke as well, as per @Ian H's observation).

Isn't the fun being ignorant but making wild observations about other areas than your own? I think most of us just enjoy making shit up.

But...

If I then claim I'm right on a matter of corporate tax because Noam Chomsky said something on the matter, I'd expect to get shot down, by a real expert, with a charge of argumentum ad verecundiam!! (even if they are long words, so only to be used by radical socialists, obvs)

Well PP for one stays entirely within his own expertise. Thankfully he is omnipotent.

Others, such as myself, know nothing, but are adept at Google.

No doubt you're looking forward to Google's planned transformation into a chatty AI LLM discourse rather than a series of links from your Boolean searches.
