Do You Call Buffalo Hunters “Train Shooters”?

This is the last time I’m going to say this, so listen up good. It ain’t “ice-fishing.” It’s just plain fishing done in a little hut on a frozen lake. When you fish from the shore, do you call it “mud fishing”? When you fish from from a boat, do you call it “water fishing”? Then why, just because the fisherman is sitting on ice with his line dropped through a hole, do you say he is fishing for the platform from which he fishes? Stop it. Now.

You might as well call ice-skating “fishroof scraping.”
