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.
