a horrible kissing technique.
To have someone stick their tongue in your mouth and not move it in any way despite your efforts to pash normally or adequately , they are giving you a dead fish -- or more commonly 'dead fishing you'.

expecting a kiss, but to have someone leave their tongue in your mouth like a dead fish, lifeless and still.

It is important to remember that the 'dead fish' is not done on purpose as a joke, but is done through lack of any technique. The person doing the 'dead fish' usually will blame it on being drunk or find other excuses to avoid embarrassment when being confronted.

Get the Dead Fish mug.
a person when making out will just lie there straight as a board and have the monkey look on face when trying to make out, there is no contact, no feeling of others ass or fondaling of the nuts, nothing stiff as a board and stays there the whole time.

When going in for a highfive, you turn your hand and hit the other persons hand with the back of your hand.
The Dead fish high five originated in Michigan.

the act of going in to give somebody a hi-five, but instead you you make your hand go limp and yell out "Dead Fish!"
caution, this can be very emotional for some, and can cause some misunderstanding between friends.
Amy: Hey Quinn.. Hi-five?
*puts hand in the air*

Quinn: Yeah sure!
*puts hand in the air and goes in for the act of friendship*

Amy: *drops hand in limp motion*
"DEAD FISH! hahaha!!"

Derived from the obvious lack of enthusiasm and energy of a dead fish caught out of water, being or feeling like a dead fish simply means that you just want to crash in bed and hibernate until you regain your energy and are capable of performing basic functions. Until then, you are a dead fish.
-Want to do something tonight?
-I can't; I'm a dead fish. Was up all night yesterday.
