Hot Tuna (verb)
hot too-nuh
1. To unexpectedly score big in a high-risk situation, especially when you had no business winning.
“Bro, I was down to my last $5 at the poker table, then pulled a hot tuna and walked out with $2K.”
2. To attract or hook up with someone way out of your league, typically through dumb luck or sheer chaos.
“He showed up drunk, wearing Crocs, and still went home with the bartender. Dude pulled a hot tuna.”
3. To make a bold move that somehow works despite terrible odds or poor planning.
“No GPS, no gas, no cell service—and he still found the campsite? That’s a hot tuna if I’ve ever seen one.”
Origin:
Derived from deep-sea fishing slang, where catching a tuna is rare, exhilarating, and usually unplanned. Eventually hijacked by bros, degenerates, and weekend warriors to describe life’s wild, undeserved victories.
