If my girlfriend is unsure where to go, I say to her to fish or cut bait. When she finishes putting her make-up on, she fishes for a compliment. Sometimes I have to be fishy, but that's generally an exception.
When I was a child, once my father went to a fishing expedition trying to discover what I was doing. I told him sarcastically that if he wanted to know that, he could just ask anybody in the town, because we were living in a fishbowl. However, my father couldn't know I had been drinking like a fish. When he discovered and came up to me, I became green around the gills. My father didn't want to talk to me anymore for a time, and I felt a fish out of water in my home.
