prettygoodwordbrisling (BRIZ-ling, BRIS-ling) - n., a sprat.
Especially a small one. A sprat being a small European marine fish similar to a herring, which is usually smoked and canned in oil. This alternate name is Norwegian, though there are obsolete cognates in most of the Germanic languages, with a root that ultimately relates it to broad.
