Me and you and a dog named Boo works because "Me and You" function as a plural. Rephrased it would be "We and a dog named Boo" not poetic but you see my point, don't you? re Shrimp: It's funny that most of our finny little friends and venison of the deep (just joking, as I am now sure that some here just love to jump on word play as though it was the original sin) have names that are the same whether singular or plural. Fish or fishes works but having caught a fish or several fish seems simpler. Trout is fine but "trouts" is certainly awkward. Shark and sharks sounds fine either way. Ass and asses if fine for the land dwellers but bass, and no basses.
