Catfish
Catfish is a term used to describe someone who creates a fake personal profile online, uses the picture of someone else, and bio and then pretends to be someone they are not. The concept behind Catfish is about as real as it gets, originating from how this type of fish are used to keep cod fish agile enough to ship across the ocean. In real life, a person who is a catfish keeps us all on our toes as they essentially constantly nip at our fins. The MTV reality show based on these adventures, however, may embellish it a bit. To select who is featured on the show, the producers actually reverse the application process. The ones who actually apply to be on the show are the people who are portrayed as the catfish.
