The "Catfish" label makes no sense.  I read the reasoning behind the name, and it seems like a bit of a stretch. The catfish keeps the cod alive.  Who in the scenario is the cod? Is it the mark?  Is it the fake person?  Is the catfish pretending to be a different fish?  Asians know their fish, and I doubt they were duped into thinking a catfish was a cod, considering they look nothing alike.

The mind boggles. There are two parallel memes here. One is a definition of a catfish as a person who makes a false identity online. The other is a cute story about Asian carp? Nary the twain shall meet. I am a highly-trained English major. GAAAAAHHHHH!!!!
