VANCOUVER – John Barker has been volunteering with the West Vancouver Streamkeeper Society for more than 20 years and says he’s never seen anything like it, dozens of coho salmon, pre-spaw...
“stream” has another more common meaning online, “stream watchers” has a meaning, “stream watchers link” has a meaning I’m used to. “Unprecedented” in quotes. Ok, sounds like a good link.
So immediately I think I’m on familiar ground, we’re talking about streaming. Then I get this word “coho” I’ve never heard before. That’s cool, shake it off. Followed by “salmon”. Lost now. “Kill to tire toxin”… Kill used there is unusual. Tire has two meanings, are we talking about exhausted fish or something else? Lets start over and reread this sucker.
“Stream watchers” meaning people who literally watch streams of water? “Salmon kill” meaning salmon deaths? “Tire toxin” whatever the hell that is?
Don’t act like this is a good sentence. It’s a damn minefield.
This is perfectly readable to someone from BC. Most are familiar with coho salmon, and the fact that our salmon are dying off in record numbers. Knowing it’s about fish it’s really not hard to piece together that stream watchers who are watching fish are probably talking about water, not video.
If you’re not familiar with those things I can see where the confusion can come in.
Fish came second. Plus it’s not just “fish” it’s Coho Salmon. That could be a director for all I know. Seriously never heard the term Coho before in my life.
P.S. Everyone likes boobies. Men, women, babies, old people, pets, you name it. It’s like saying “I breathe air.”
You skipped the first word, which gave important context. If you just look at the current top meaning of each word and ignore the context, yeah you’re gonna have a hard time.
When it says “B.C. Stream” is definitely implies a physical stream

It’s talking about fish so the average person is going to associate it with a river stream

I will admit to not knowing I was on the B.C. community for a while. I was browsing all and tried to take in the title alone and it just befuddled me.
My guy is so chronically online he doesn’t know what a stream is.
How about a river, ever heard of those?
Hey! Take a hike buddy!
Oh, I bet you already do, lol.
