CFD. The official festival of Wilmington, IL. Usually the last weekend in July. While there's stuff for kids during the day (e.g. carnivals, parade) the epic stuff happens at night when the streets are closed and the bars are flooded with hundreds of partygoers. At Catfish Days, not only are you encouraged to blackout, but you are given a free pass to make a fool out of yourself for 3 straight nights.
Stranger: Hey, what's with all the music and drunk people in the streets?
Jimmy Hunt: It's Catfish Days you dumb idiot. Go Wildcats!!
Stranger: O wow I've heard about this! Get me a beer ASAP!
Jimmy Hunt: Catfish Daaaaaayz!
A type of fish that has barbels,which are whisker-like sensors made from skin that people say looks like a cat's whiskers.
Catfish are friendly animals that look like cats.
To have one large pubic hair protruding from one's zipper, whether purposely or by accident. The term comes from the long barbels, or whiskers that stick out from the mouths of catfish. While the whiskers of catfish house their taste buds and are used to search for food in murky waters, the act of catfishing will only serve to make you look like a complete slob, oblivious airhead, or creepy perv.
"So I was giving a presentation the other day, and I looked down and realized that I was totally catfishing! I was so embarrassed, so I spent the rest of the time with my back to the audience!"
"I was catfishing at the club last night and at least 3 people noticed!"
