While getting fellatio, sitting at the edge of any body of water, the giver (who is neck deep in water) deepthroats, puts their hands on their cheeks like gills, and stares at receiver with as big of eyes as possible.

Radioactive Carp

Used to describe females originating in and around Niagara Falls... specifically Welland.

You can usually find them around the canal. With hair of unusual colouring... typically Green. They usually have many piercings... they use as trophies for all the fishing lines they have been freed from. They typically have an inbred look to them, the odd one may resemble an angler fish; with similar teeth. These carp are triggered easily and will attack; if you call them out on their stupidity, sleep with their man (who they also borrowed), or throw maggot water off your balcony.
“Hey bro, look at that radioactive carp over there, she’s the type a girl you pull the fuse out of the heated seats for”
