People Fishing

After attaching money to a fishing pole or wire, one casts it out into the street and waits for people to pick it up, but the money is immediately pulled away. Do this until the person realizes what is going on and walks away.

Hey, do you want to go people fishing tomorrow?
Sure, I'll grab my pole and a dollar! Where shall we go? Wall Street?

Foisty Fish

A Foisty Fish is a seedy sex trap, when someone lays waiting naked for you to return, but they aren't waiting in a sexy way, quite the opposite.
Slithering and sliming around the bed, in their own filth expecting sex - but the sight of it is an instant turn off.

I walked in to my hotel room last night and there was a foisty fish laying there waiting for me.
