Question: Broderick Gardner asks
 
"What do you call a pregnant goldfish?"
 
Answer: First of all Broderick, thank you so very much for sending in your question. The answer comes in two parts due to the vagueness of the question.
 
The first part of the answer has to do with the world of fashion.
As you all know, I am an avid fan of all things fashionable, and therefore I often frequent the trendy style website http://pregnantgoldfish.wordpress.com/. I typically check out all the latest posts on pregnantgoldfish every day as I get dressed. I would recommend that you all do the same. Some of my personal favorite outfits from the site are "Dreams in Ripped Jeans" and "Bali Babe". I try to work those two outfits into my wardrobe every other week or so.
 
The second part of my answer is if Broderick was actually referring to a physical goldfish, or Carassius auratus. In this case, then a pregnant goldfish is called a twit. Well actually not really. You see, a pregnant goldfish was given the name of twit or twerp, because goldfish cannot actually be pregnant because they are in fact egg layers. Someone who has been breeding goldfish for over 20 years told me that the correct term for an egg laden goldfish is a "gravid", a term that is usually used for live bearing animals. So really, there is no official name for a pregnant goldfish, and the name twit was given as a joke. As I'm sure you know, the word twit commonly refers to someone who is foolish or annoying. It's sort of like that if you are willing to think for a long time about the name of a pregnant goldfish then you are a twit. Wait.......you are a clever one Broderick Gardner.
