As far as I know Tuna-fish is only a nth American thing and sounds very weird to my ears.
So this vote will likely be Nth America vs the rest.
Honestly, why only tuna fish?
Salmon-fish?
Chicken-bird?
You can tune a piano but you can't tune a fish
But you can tuna fish, so where does that leave us?
I guess it leaves us with Sandwich fillings
That was a great album.
"tunafish" sounds weird but "nth American" (not first or second or thirteenth but nth) sounds fine?

"North", I assume
We do have a tuna cactus here that people eat. Nopales are from the Tuna. Prickly pear fruit also. That cactus is called Tuna here.
I mean the fish when I say Tuna though, and would say Prickly Pear cactus.
But do hear Tuna often used to mean the plant.
Human-sapien?
Human-homo?
Human-mammal would be the closest taxonomically.
Jay bird
Panda bear
Scarab beetles
There's a few other redundant versions, like how they say "horse-back riding". Why not bikeseat riding or plane cockpit flying?
