Coatfishing 

Like catfishing, but when a person only has photos of them in a coat on their dating profile, so you wrongfully assume that they are in good shape.

Guy 1: "Bro, I met up with my Tinder date last night and she was coatfishing!!!"
Guy 2: "Sorry to hear that man, you gotta be more careful next time"

Clout-Fishing 

Someone looking for acknowledgement from a un-needed flex. Looking for an ego stroke by posting something or saying something to get likes. Hoping for clout that would eventually make them look bigger and more attractive and powerful than reality says they are.

Heather was clout-fishing by posting her massive Crypto Gains in Discord over and over again.

She was caught clout-fishing on her Instagram posts by re-posting someone else's photos.
