The act of two peoplemaking out with such fervor that it is audible to others around.
Example 1:
(Josh and Lana are making out)
Marlee: Can you hear that?
Amanda: Is that the fish tank?
Example 2:
(Alexander and Kayla were making out the previous night)
Alexander: (sly look) So, I kept hearing a belt buckle last night...
Nathan: Yeah well, I heard you fishtankin' it up! How about that?
Alexander: (holds head down in shame)
Nathan: (ultimate glory)
When it is late at night (around 3am) and your intoxicants have worn off, and you are just a shell wandering or staring aimlessly at walls, like a fish in a tank. Also, to actually fishtank you cannot be aware you are doing it -- that would mean you're coherent.
"We have to getKevinhome -- he's totally fishtanking."

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing peecalculus.
