craigslist fishing

creating a fake craigslist personals post asking to meet someone at a bar. the person responding to the post is required to wear an article of clothing designated by the poster to distinguish themselves. once at the bar, do a shot for every person who walks in wearing said article of clothing and aimlessly looking to hook up with their phantom partner.

I went craigslist fishing this weekend. It was extremely creepy, but I got really fucking drunk.

mouse fishing

It's like that thing, where you accidentally knock your mouse off your desk, and rather than reach down to get it, you just grab the cable and reel it back up, hand over hand.

Tony was too fat and lazy to set his laptop aside, so just grabbed the cable on the back and did some mouse fishing.

Like Fishing

Posting a Facebook status solely for the reason of obtaining as many likes as possible.

Ninety-Nine percent of non-celebrity statuses are the result of like fishing.

Facebook User's status: "Maybe you should eat makeup, so you can try to be pretty on the inside too."

Dude: "Damn, Facebook User got 57 likes. That's an obvious use of like fishing."

Fisking

The word is derived from articles written by Robert Fisk that were easily refuted, and refers to a point-by-point debunking of lies and/or idiocies.

Here we have a great example of a fisking of a clearly biased writer.

fishing for nickels

1. Playing with your nuts so intently that you can't focus on the task at hand. Usually from a red neck of higher social standing to a subordinate red neck.

"Ey Jimmy, quit fishing for nickels and get me a beer before I beat your ma."

Pity Fishing

The act of searching for pity or sympathy by making something sound far worse than it really is.

Dave: Hey dude, what's up?

Jim: I got attacked by this massive, vicious dog in the park yesterday... I thought I was going to die...

Dave: OMG! Are you OK?

later...

Dave: Did you hear about Jim? He got attacked by a massive dog!

Fred: He's just pity fishing, I was there. He was barked at by a dog.
