An experimental apparatus that converts raw natural catfish meat into clean, edible, refined tuna. Usually canned for longevity so it can be consumed for nutrients on above and below water adventures.
Sir, if we don’t get the catfish tunalizer back online, everyone in the sub we made out of an old glycol absorber is going to starve.

Retrocatfish(ing) is an act in which a person you have met online uses/sends old photos or photos before they went through a noticeable physical change.
This commonly happens on dating websites where people post pictures that are a couple of years old. Maybe a person got a new tattoo a few months ago, but did not update their photos. The most extreme version of this is when someone saves older pictures of themselves to specifically send to people in the present day to make one interested in them; with deceitful intent.

Common example: I was so excited to meet Humberto and touch his curls. It turns out he retro-catfished me and had cut them off a year ago!
Extreme example: I can't believe Justin would send me a daily retro-catfish snapchat from 4 years ago. He did not look the same at all!

When you’re talking to someone online and you’re not sure if they’re real or a catfish — they exist in a superposition of being both real and a catfish until you meet them or see them on video.
Example:
Person 1: Yeah bro, the girl I’m talking to is really cool.
Person 2: Great, have you seen her yet?
Person 1: No, but I sent her flowers.
Person 2: Ah… Schrödinger’s Catfish. Poor guy.
Person 1: Yeah bro, the girl I’m talking to is really cool.
Person 2: Great, have you seen her yet?
