Fish?

Why do so many of us continually refer to our opponents as fish? Do you ever wonder if they think of us as fish as well?

Whenever this idea is broached, I always think of an old poker quote . . . something along the lines of poker being the only game where the target shoots back.

So, yeah, it's okay to think of your opponents as "fish", so long as you keep in mind that sharks are a type of fish, too.

Because "fucker" shows as ****** on most sites and that's quite ambiguous.

I call you people fish all the time.....

Nobody's said it back, but that may just be politeness.

Except darb - kid's got moxie.
