Fisherism

The frequent use of uncommon idioms, usually originating from old English or the military, in everyday conversation to explain common subjects, thereby spreading understanding and confusion

A classic Fisherism is asking someone to address the most pressing concern first by asking them to "deal with the closest crocodile to the canoe."

Fisherism

Expressions and statements that make absolutely no fucking sense. However, there seem to be victims out there who see this philosophy as logic and truth, despite profusely opposing evidence. People who are usual proponents of Fisherisms are often men who look like Rick James. The victims are often called "subscribers".

MF: "Welcome, welcome, welcome, SUBSCRIBERS !"
Subscriber: "Hey ! How's it going ?"
MF: "I could care less what the fuck you think."

Fishprison

A dark, evil pit from which no light can escape and hope is a joke that the devil himself doesn’t laugh at. Somewhere that starts out smelling like roses and finishes reeking like a moldy, scale covered corpse.

Friend 1: Where are you off to for the day?

Friend 2: Going to sell an ounce of my soul at Fishprison. Shoot me now.

Friend 1: Ah. Yeah, nothing like spending a few hours in Hell to make you question where your life went wrong. Want some shots??
