/Sounds like "kaht" (as in "car") + "FEESH" (as in "feet")/
Someone using fake photos and a false identity online to deceive others, usually in romantic contexts. The catfish creates an elaborate fake persona, builds emotional connections, and eventually gets exposed in a moment of brutal internet reality. It happens everywhere but feels personal every single time.
“Turns out the guy from Tinder was a catfish.”
“I got catfished for three months, so embarrassing.”
