Carfished 

When you order an Uber or Lyft expecting to see a nice car, but a beat up car pulls up! Or the vice versa.

Expecting a ugly car, but a cute car pulls up.

Me: Dude, this is not the car from the picture… Your car is way cooler!

Cute Asian driver: bro! I get that all the time.

Me: dude, you carfished me…

Cute Asian driver. Never heard of that before, add that to Urban Dictionary!

Or…..

Me: dude. This car is beat up!

Driver: it gets me where I need to go, but obviously you too, since you called an Uber.

Me: the App says it’s a 2020 RAV4… am I being carfished?

Driver: you can walk. *engine stops* Bro! Can you help me push?

Me: dude, it’s the 1 star for me!

catfisher 

A catfisher is the name coined to a bottom dwelling human, who spends a great deal of time on the net in various locations, luring people into a falsely based romance. A catfisher uses fake pictures and bogus information. Often has low self esteem and simply is not happy enough with their image to present it to people that they deem out of their league, and turns to faking other people instead. Other reasons for fraudulently representing people include doing it to boosting one's self esteem and playing people they would otherwise not even get to speak to. In short a catfisher is someone who performs the act of catfishing.
