The state of a friend who has passed from their current stage in life onto the next one, often resembling a state of death. In reference to the mating stage of anglerfish where the male fuses to the body of the
female and ceases to be an individual. Similar to being pussywhipped but with no hope of return.
This occurs with young
men who once they have begun a relationship, begins to disappear from general society. This process
will continue until they are left as a squiggling decayed mass attached by the face to their mate's hindquarters while they
troll the dark unlit depths together as a single unit.
Much
like the male anglerfish after he attaches to a host, this friend
will slowly begin to dissolve and become unrecognizable as the person you once knew.
Any fuzing is not totally permanent however, the subject may be allowed to have momentary glimpses of the life they formerly knew. While they may enjoy the brief periods of separation, they
will always return to their space at their mate's rear quarter panel.
Beware: any permanent separation
will be fatal: if the male angler
fish is forcibly detached (such as a breakup) he
will attempt to resurface, only to quickly realize that no one is there to pull him out of the water. Upon this realization, the former angler
fish with thrash about as its body starts to join it's mind in death. These are it's death throes. But do not weep at the sight, for the angler
fish died long ago.
TL;DR your friend is gone, find a new one.
Priest to congregation: Now we
lay to rest our
brother Tanner, he had a fondness for life and having
fun with his friends. Alas he no longer with us, but he will live on in our memories.
Tanner: guys I'm right here, but I have to go see my girlfriend in 15 minutes.
Priest: The poor soul doesn't know it
yet, but he's already gone. Anglerfished to his beloved girlfriend of 5 weeks. We pray for fair winds and following seas for our dearest Tanner.
