Flatfished

When your first year uni flatmates catfish you into believing they're sociable, but become boring fucks in second year.

Ugh, Leah never comes on nights out this year, she's really changed. We've been flatfished!

Flatfishing

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.

Fagfishing

When a media has characters that were very clearly (poorly) written to be pining for each other, with the sole intent to have fans of said media go crazy for it. its very similar to queerbait.

guy: Do you remember in 2020 how people shipped dream and george?
guy 2: LMAOO yes they were totally fagfishing, especially when they randomly released merch of it

guy: 2020 was genuinely crazy

Flatfished

When you see a flat online and it looks big, bright and modern, then when you get to the viewing only to see it’s tiny, dark and run down. You’ve been flatfished.

The London flat was a 10 online, but a 4 in real life. I’ve been flatfished.
