/ˈsɛroʊz/ noun

Definition

Plural of cero; a large, predatory Atlantic fish similar to a mackerel, known for its speed and sharp teeth.

Etymology

Kelly Says

Ceros are aggressive hunters that reach speeds of 30 mph and have teeth like daggers—fishermen have reported them slicing clean through steel fishing lines!
