    Catfish On TV

    By NuYwk  |  Posted January 7, 2013  |  The Online Village
     

    No its not really about fish. Its about the new reality of hooking up online. When folks meet their true love online and then once they meet in person they realize they person they met online really doesn't exist.

     

    From the Urban Dictionary online :

     

     

    1.catfish
    A catfish is someone who pretends to be someone they're not using Facebook or  other social media to create false identities, particularly to pursue  deceptive online romances.

    "Did you hear how Dave got totally catfished last month?! The fox he thought he was talking to turned out to be a pervy guy from San Diego!"
