Fishing for compliments

Someone who feels to bring up how they're "ugly," or "fat" in every single conversation so that people will disagree and compliment them.

Example:

Bella: *is literally 98 pounds*

"I'm so fat!"

Shawn: "No, you're not!"

Bella: "Yes, I am! I'm so fat and ugly!"

Shawn: "Ya know what bitch? I don't give a flying fuck. You are fat and ugly then. Shut the fuck up and stop fishing for compliments."

fishing with a shotgun

trying too hard to get something that takes time done, and by rushing, in the end you've accomplished nothing, a classic example of the old saying "patience is a virtue"

- "hey man, I think I if double the recommended oven heat on these biscuits they'll cook in half the time"
- "man, chill out, you are fishing with a shotgun"

Formspring fishing

The act of constantly posting your formspring link in hopes that someone will ask you a question about your life. Usually this fishers will sit all day without a question, and will fall into depression over the fact they have no friends who give a damn.

Lexi has been formspring fishing all day, but nobody wants to ask her why her cunt smells like dead fish.
