brat

en-noun

brat (countable and uncountable, plural brats)

Early Modern English (c. 1500) slang term meaning "beggar's child". Possibly from Scots bratchet (“bitch, hound”). Another possibility is that it was originally a dialectal word, from northern and western England and the Midlands, for a "makeshift or ragged garment," from Old English bratt (“cloak”), which is from a Celtic source (Old Irish brat (“cloak, cloth”)). In the sense "characteristic of a confident and assertive woman", coined by English singer and songwriter Charli XCX in her 2024 album Brat.

From its ray-like appearance, the medieval Japanese had mistaken the flounder for such.

Probably via unattested Medieval Latin *pernula, from Latin perna (“haunch; a marine bivalve shaped like a leg of lamb”) but also derived from Medieval Latin perla, from Latin perula (“little bag”).

Its surfing use derives from the supposed resemblance to pearl diving.

The noun is possibly:
* partly a variant of Middle English wef, weffe (“bad smell, stench, stink; exhalation; vapour; tendency of something to go bad (?)”) [and other forms], possibly a variant of either:
** waf, waif, waife (“odour, scent”), possibly from waven (“to move to and fro, sway, wave; to stray, wander; to move in a weaving manner; (figuratively) to hesitate, vacillate”), from Old English wafian (“to wave”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *webʰ- (“to braid, weave”); or
** wef (“a blow, stroke”), from weven (“to travel, wander; to move to and fro, flutter, waver; to blow something away, waft; to cause something to move; to fall; to cut deeply; to sever; to give up, yield; to give deference to; to avoid; to afflict, trouble; to beckon, signal”); further etymology uncertain, perhaps from Old English wefan (“to weave”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *webʰ- (“to braid, weave”)), or from wǣfan (see bewǣfan, ymbwǣfan); and
* partly onomatopoeic.
Noun sense 6 (“name of a number of flatfish”) is possibly derived from sense 1 (“brief, gentle breeze; a light gust of air”), sense 4 (“small quantity of cloud, smoke, vapour, etc.”), and other such senses.
The verb and adjective are derived from the noun. Verb sense 2.6 (“to catch fish by dragging a handline near the surface of the water from a moving boat”) is possibly derived from sense 1.1 (“to carry or convey (something) by, or as by, a whiff or puff of air”), sense 2.2 (“to be carried, or move as if carried, by a puff of air”), and other such senses.
The interjection is derived from noun sense 7.4 (“a sound like that of air passing through a small opening; a short or soft whistle”).

(UK, archaic) A large British fluke, or flounder (Lepidorhombus whiffiagonis)


craig flounder

A fish of the North Atlantic, pole flounder, Glyptocephalus cynoglossus.


sand dab

I commanded him. “Stand up.” He looked down, his mouth disobedient and wide and flat and ugly as a sand dab’s, and would not.

2013, Hanya Yanagihara, The People in the Trees, New York: Doubleday, Part 6, p. 336:

Any of various small flatfish of the genus Citharichthys native to the Pacific coast of the Americas.


achirid

(ichthyology) Any member of the Achiridae.


bothid

1978, US Fish and Wildlife Service, Office of Biological Services, Development of Fishes of the Mid-Atlantic Bight, [page 125],
Accepting this classification, the bothids can be distinguished from the pleuronectids and the soles by usually having both eyes on the left side of the head.

Bothids are left-eyed flounders, that is, both eyes are found on the left side of the adults after metamorphosing from the more traditional one-eye-per-side mode as post-larvae.

1994, G. H. Burgess, S. H. Smith, E. D. Lane, “11: Fishes of the Cayman Islands”, in M. A. Brunt, J. E. Davies, editors, The Cayman Islands: Natural History and Biogeography, volume 71, page 222:

Among the flatfish, bothids are mainly found in deeper, less muddy situations while cynoglossids occur in shallower muddy areas.

1997, S. J. Blaber, Fish and Fisheries in Tropical Estuaries, page 106:

(zoology) Any of the species of the lefteye flounder family Bothidae.


citharid

(zoology) Any fish in the family Citharidae.


cynoglossid

Cynoglossids are elongate and oval in profile, with eyes on left side of head, pectoral fins absent or represented by a membrane, and dorsal and anal fins confluent with caudal fin.

2006, John D. McEachran, Janice D. Fechhelm, Fishes of the Gulf of Mexico, volume 2, Scorpaeniformes to Tetraodontiformes, page 872:

Only the soleids, bothids and some species of cynoglossids constitute fishery resources of commercial importance in the area.

2008, Richard Millner, Stephen J. Walsh, Juan M. Díaz de Astarloa, “Chapter 11: Atlantic flatfish fisheries”, in Robin N. Gibson, editor, Flatfishes: Biology and Exploitation, page 250:

(zoology) Any species of the tonguefish family Cynoglossidae.


paralichthyid

(zoology) Any flounder in the family Paralichthyidae.


pleuronectid

2006, Larry G. Allen, Daniel J. Pondella II, Chapter 4: Ecological Classification, Larry G. Allen, Michael H. Horn (editors), The Ecology of Marine Fishes: California and Adjacent Waters, 105,
The rockfishes also dominated both the deep northern and southern habitats along with pleuronectids.

Two fish species were found in the diet, with juvenile pleuronectids the most common.

2008, M. Elliott, K. L. Hemingway, M. J. Costello, S. Duhamel, K. Hostens, M. Labropoulou, S. Marshall, H. Winkler, “Chapter 4: Links between Fish and Other Trophic Levels”, in M. Elliott, Krystal L. Hemingway, editors, Fishes in Estuaries, page 152:

The dynamics of those fishes that supported extensive multi-national fisheries in northern temperate and boreal waters (mainly gadids, clupeoids and pleuronectids) became a research priority (Beverton 1992).

2009, J. H. Choat, J. P. Kritzer, J. L. Ackerman, “2. Ageing in Coral Reef Fishes: Do We Need to Validate the Periodicity of Increment Formation for Every Species of Fish for which We Collect Age-based Demographic Data?”, in Bridget S. Geen, Bruce D. Mapstone, Gary Carlos, Gavin A. Begg, editors, Tropical Fish Otoliths, page 24:

(zoology, ichthyology) Any species of the family Pleuronectidae.


psettodid

(zoology) Any flatfish in the family Psettodidae.


scophthalmid

(zoology) Any fish in the family Scophthalmidae, the turbots.


soleid

A similar character also appears in the Soleidae, but is never covered by lower lip in that family; soleids do not occur in the Neotropics.

2003, Roberto E. Reis, Sven O. Kullander, Carl J. Ferraris, Check List of the Freshwater Fishes of South and Central America, page 666:

Larvae of the flatfish family Soleidae most closely resemble tonguefish larvae but the smaller jaws and more attenuated body shape in cynoglossids serves to distinguish them from larval soleids.

2005, T. W. Farooqi, R. F. Shaw, J. G. Ditty, J. Lyczkowski-Shultz, “Chapter 207: Cynoglossidae: Tongue fishes”, in William J. Richards, editor, Early Stages of Atlantic Fishes, page 2368:

The oldest soleids, Eobuglossus eocenicus and Turahbuglossus cuvillieri, both known from single specimens from the Upper Lutetian of Egypt (Chabanaud 1937; Chanet 1994, 1997), are also among the first known flatfish fossils and they are identical to skeletons of recent soleids.

2008, Thomas A. Monroe, “Chapter 2: Systematic diversity of the Pleuronectiformes”, in Robin N. Gibson, editor, Flatfishes: Biology and Exploitation, page 14:

(zoology) Any species of the family Soleidae.


turbit

A kind of pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding, known for its peaked crest, short beak, and frill of feathers on the breast.


birt

From Middle English byrte; compare French bertonneau and English bret, burt.

If you've never seen the top of your Tinder date's head, he may be hatfishing you.

2017 August 23, Ben Yakas, “Extra, Extra: Liam Gallagher Ranks His Own Haircuts”, in Gothamist:

So basically, if you've got a great job, then fucking hatfish all you want - doesn't matter, Jean will be up for it!

2017 October 24, Gary Ogden, “'Hatfishing' is yet another dating trend – are you guilty of it?”, in Shortlist:

Looks aren’t everything — until you get on this app, where looks just happen to be everything. Be yourself and be honest. Filters and angles can help you look your best, but catfishing and hatfishing are real things.

2018 February 10, Lady Marmalade, “Things you probably shouldn't mention on your Tinder profile”, in Gauntlet, page 41, column 2:

The inclination to hatfish makes sense, given how sensitive men can be about their hair.

2018 April 3, Brittany Wong, “If You're On A Dating App, Chances Are You've Been Hatfished”, in Huffington Post:

You know he ain't hatfishing – there's a glorious grey mane under that woolen number.
