can't we go back to using the old timeworn term 'impostor' instead?
catfish is just getting to be such a dweeb-ish sounding word in having to say over and over again in referencing these contemporarily noncy internet behaviors (which, in themselves, are root cause in letting this otherwise unrelated noun to even become synonymous with 'fraudster' to begin with...)
Will a catfish has a certain connotation that imposter doesn't quite cover I agree it's a little bit silly cuz it doesn't really have anything to do with fishing but then again with the connotation it kind of does have something to do with fishing. I dunno
