Clout-fish

**Clout Fish**: A term used to describe individuals who deliberately manipulate their online persona or relationships to gain social status, influence, or attention, often by pretending to be someone they are not or exaggerating their connections to popular figures. Unlike "catfishing," which involves romantic deception, a "clout fish" focuses on leveraging social media interactions and appearances to enhance their perceived value or relevance, often leading to inauthentic relationships and interactions driven by the pursuit of clout.

“Amelia loves fishing. Her favourite catch is a clout-fish. Shes always out there cloutfishing, casting her net for anyone who can get her side of stage.”

Clout Monger

when you do anything and everything in your power to cook up some relevance

Person one 1: did you hear that new track by blaa blaa blaa

Person 2 : yeah you could tell by the lyrics he was just clout mongering on whatevers hot at the moment. Probably cause he couldn't come up with anything original. Classic move when you fear falling off

Person 1: haha guess you'd call that a failed attempt at stiring up waters to catch fish

college clout

Stupid things high schoolers with overbearing parents do because it will "look good to colleges." Examples being stupid presentations on poster boards to big bureaucratic organizations, trying to pass stupid laws while still in high school, or anything else that these kids legitimately don't care about but only do it because mommy and daddy want them to go to Harvard.

Ani Chaglasian and Arin Parsa are looking for college clout. They are college clout chasers.

clout camping

A person that invests a disproportional amount of time and energy into setting up a situation that could lead to quick internet fame by leeching on the influence of a famous person.
