Fadefishing

Similar to catfishing, fadefishing is the act of posting a photo or video of yourself right after getting an amazing fade weeks or months later while currently looking a mess.

Yeah I posted an old selfie to my stories today. I was fadefishing.

Facefishing 

An open-ended, brief Facebook status post, often 1-2 words -- such as "hmmm" or "is" -- that is merely bait, intended to solicit quick bites or responses from your audience pool.

FaceFishing post: Hmmmmm...

Biter #1: What is 'Things that make you go...'? I'll take Alphabet Soup for $400.

Biter #2: WTF? You are clearly fishing for comments with an open-ended "hmmmmm."

Biter #1 again: Maybe he's referring to a hummer received last night...or a tasty treat...not sure? Let's ask...

fatfishing 

Commonly used to describe when individuals (most often females) take pictures at specific angles or lighting to use for online dating/hookups and social media that give the appearance that they aren't fat, when in actuality, they are fat.

Person 1: Damn! She hot!

Person 2: No look she never shows a picture of herself with an exposed midriff. And look at her face, it's a bit chubby.

Person 1: Ah you right she's just another BBW fatfishing us.

Fagfishing

When a media has characters that were very clearly (poorly) written to be pining for each other, with the sole intent to have fans of said media go crazy for it. its very similar to queerbait.

guy: Do you remember in 2020 how people shipped dream and george?
guy 2: LMAOO yes they were totally fagfishing, especially when they randomly released merch of it

guy: 2020 was genuinely crazy
