"Hi, I'm Michael Jackson, ummm....."
Why is tunafish called tunafish? The fact that it is tuna denotes the fish classification. It gets a bit redunant to just repeat what your food is before to actually get to eat it.
We don't say porkmammal. or chickenbird.
What if this carries over to us humans? Name redundancy that is.
For example, you go to a party and your friend is introducing you, (if you followed the tunafish rule) it would be like, "Hi, I'm LaShondraBlack" or "Hi, I'm PingAsian" and people would just be like, "I know, don't have to state the obvious, Ping. And put down the tunafish, no sushi tonight."
I'm just for interspecial nomenclature equality.
