When you upload or share pictures on the internet while hiding the fact that you are fat. Taking pictures from the neck up because you are overweight or taking pictures hiding the "pooch" with a purse or handbag, or any object including other people. Taking pictures sideways because your are overweight and uploading on social media. Basically any attempt to hide being over weight via pictures. Using slimmer pictures or avatars of yourself than you are as a socila media profile picture.
All her pictures are from the neck up, she's probably fat fishing.

She only take pictures with her purse covering her stomach, shes probably fat fishing.
I saw her pictures and thought she was slim, but when we met she was fat and said those were her older pictures, I got fat fished.

Flatfishing

Share definition
When a student is unprepared for a class, either has not done the homework assignment or did not do the work, or maybe even forget the materials needed for the class and as a result, the student tries to lay low the entire class and not get called on by the teacher.

Flat-fishers may be seen averting eye contact with the teacher, pretending to be very focused on something in their notebook, or pretending to take notes. Overall, just trying to go unnoticed until the class is over.
I didn't do the homework. I plan on flatfishing the entire class.
