Similar to being “catfished,” a person gets “goldfished” when...the person they’ve been talking to via “online” etc is, indeed, the right person, they just promised everything in the world, gold, glitter and diamonds, and after meeting....they brought nothing but empty promises.
“We been chattin’ online these last 8 months, he promised me that he’d treat me like a queen. Now that we’ve met, he been nothin’ but jealous and controlling.”

“Girl, you done been goldfished.”

When the person getting Catfished happens to be a Notre Dame Fighting Irish football player or is highly associated to Notre Dame.
Notre Dame coaches were informed by Manti Te’o and his parents that Manti had been the victim of what appears to be a hoax in which someone using the fictitious name Lennay Kekua apparently ingratiated herself with Manti and then conspired with others to lead him to believe she had tragically died of leukemia utilizing social media like Facebook. When asked to comment, Manti, stated. Damn, I got Goldfished!

refers to instantly forgetting something regardless of importance.
compares to how a goldfish changes direction in water suddenly for no apparent reason.

Blondes are the most susceptible to this.
1.) getting into your car and leaving a coffee and briefcase on the roof and driving away.

2.) leaving the bathroom after a shower in the morning and pouring a bowl of cereal naked.

someone sitting at the breakfast nook: "Why are you eating cereal naked?"

moving the bowl of cereal below waist and shrugging shoulders: "I must of goldfished."

When someone is so fucked up, they head in one direction with a goal in mind but half-way there, forget that goal and wander off in a random direction with or without another goal in mind. Term comes from goldfish in an aquarium acting the same way due to their seconds-long memory.
He was so fucked up on mushrooms, he spent the whole night goldfishing around his apartment and never made it out to meet us.

We wasted a few hours goldfishing around camp before we even realized that we missed the burn.

The purest little animals that swim around in large cuboids filled with water. When it comes to goldfish, opinions are rather polarising - there are really only two types of people: those who have an undying love and experience monomania towards those creatures, and those who openly dislike them as think that they're boring little lumps that open and close their mouths.

Far too often, they are portrayed in unfunny Youtube videos as memeable and clumsy things who only exist for the human race to laugh at.

its time to stop.
Far too often, goldfish are treated as though they're nothing more than entities that exist for us to laugh at.
