fishing

When a less capable co-worker or incompetent manager tries to talk to a more competent colleague in a casual way about emerging projects or technologies, only to later pass those ideas off as his own.

"Remember, that great idea you were talking to Lil'e about? Well, he's selling it to BigE as his own."

Fish

“Fish” is a term that originated from poker. The term “fish” describes a player who is new to the game and gets taken advantage of by the other players. They are scared to put too much money at risk, but they like to play a lot of hands. Once they call initially, it is easy for a good player to push them out of a hand with a large bet. Everybody loves to have a fish at their table.

That was the most profitable game ever. That fish was basically handing me his chips!
