Phoshing 

Pulling your cell phone up from a space unaccessible by one's hand by gently using your charging cord. (Only possible if already plugged in before the phone fell)

My phone fell between the mattress and headboard last night. Now I have to go phoshing to get it out.

Guy 2: Did you say anything to her?

Spear-phishing 

The targeted version of phishing where hackers go after individuals as opposed to going after a large group by pretending to be a trusted corporation/company/group through some form of electronic communication.

"Did you hear about that CEO?"
"Yeah, I heard some hacker was spear-phishing him and he lost his emails"

data phishing

To start with a small piece of data which you use to find a bigger piece of data, similar to using a minnow to catch a mackerel in 'actual' fishing.
