Talk:remorid

RFV discussion: May–August 2016
"Any member of the family Remora, the suckerfishes." I can't find usages of this, and the entry looks odd in any case: is a genus, not a family — the family is. Wikipedia redirects to (the English word) which is also a redirect for Echeneidae.— Pingkudimmi 15:18, 27 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Looks as though Remorid might be a French surname. (Oh, it's a scanno for Rémond.) Perhaps it got onto a word list and someone made a bad guess at the meaning? Equinox ◑ 15:21, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 * The same, now-blocked user's entry for Remora had it as a family. I found one possible cite for an adjective use and many mentions in Scrabble books. DCDuring TALK 15:42, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, it looks like it only existed in that user's mind. Apparently there never has been a family called Remoridae, so the normal formation of "-id" words doesn't apply here. It's kind of scary how many other sites copy from us... Chuck Entz (talk) 02:05, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
