FOUND THE ANSWER!
Ron Burgundy: Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it
Blue tailed redfish, which of course in German means the fish was swimming in pollution
Veronica Corningstone: No, there's no way that's correct.
Ron Burgundy: I'm sorry, I was trying to impress you. I don't know what it means. I'll be honest, I don't think anyone knows what it means anymore. Scholars maintain that the translation was lost hundreds of years ago.
Veronica Corningstone: Doesn't it mean blood rushing to the tail from an active fish?
Ron Burgundy: No. No.
Veronica Corningstone: No, that's - that's what it means. Really.
Ron Burgundy: Agree to disagree
