Baddiefish:
/bad-die/fish/
noun
A villainous fish. Not, as is often assumed, a rotten or poisonous fish. A baddie fish is a naughty or unethical fish; the kind of fish that will steal your fish girlfriend; the kind of fish who will hide in coral and jump out to scare you so badly that you poop your caviar.
Example:
Perhaps you have noticed,
In the midst of some
Bacchanalian omakase,
A certain kinship to--
A thin slice of Konpachi,
A lip-thick hunk of Toro;
Perhaps the hedonist in you,
has cheered loudly!
At a certain bite of Snapper.
Remember in these moments--
The Baddie Fish!
The scourge of the sea!
He who has fallen to please you.
--Ludovic Brillat-Chevre, from Strange Tummfellows
