WWhere does the word<br />
„catfishing“ come from?<br />
The phenomenon of internet predators<br />
that fabricate online identities<br />
and entire social circles to trick<br />
people into emotional/romantic relationships<br />
(over a long period of<br />
time).<br />
Possible motivations:<br />
revenge, loneliness, curiosity, boredom<br />
A catfish is someone who pretends to be someone<br />
they're not using Facebook or other social media to<br />
create false identities, particularly to pursue<br />
deceptive online romances.<br />
Did you hear how Dave got totally catfished last<br />
month?! The fox he thought he was <strong>talk</strong>ing to turned<br />
out to be a pervy guy from San Diego!<br />
or<br />
I was really falling for that gorgeous gal on Facebook,<br />
but she turned out to be a catfish.<br />
The term catfishing was inspired by<br />
the 2010 documentary "Catfish."
