Slapping people with a wet trout used to be a normal interaction in the early days of the Internet.
Wikipedia doesn't forget the proto-memes.

@thibaultamartin Wikimedians are still trotting each other when appropriate. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rainbow_trout_transparent.png
@thibaultamartin Somehow, I remember using one from a particular IRC script that also managed to involve fat shaming at the same time. Though I didn't invent that particular trout slap.
I believe it was:
* $name slaps $target around a bit with... never mind, $target's fat ass ate the trout
Think I'd know better than to use this now, considering what a chonk I am.
Come to think of it, I think the only person I ever used it against, completely at random, was Brad Levicoff, aka Zophar.
Which then reminds me of the time I access flooded his hit counter for like 200-300 hits to make one of the millions milestones, as if it wouldn't have shown up in access logs. Then stupidly gave him my address to mail a check to, as if he was really going to do that, especially knowing that I cheated.
