"Scrod" was one of the answers in the NYT crossword yesterday. This was a new one to me, apparently a Bostonian thing:

(from Boston Online)

SCROD: A small, ambiguous piece of fish that never knows if it's cod or haddock. Some people claim that "scrod" is a young cod, while "schrod" is a young haddock, but, in fact, there's no difference - it's basically whatever's cheaper at the fish pier that day.

"So a guy lands at Logan and gets in a cab and says to the driver, 'Take me somewhere I can get scrod!" And the driver says, "I've never heard anyone use the pluperfect participle before!"


(cp: tell me you don't love that.)
