A male who attempts to seduce his friend's previous lovers. Will go out of his way in any means to peacock himself as a better person, just to snatch up any scraps that might be left. Typically will use social networking as their resource for targets. A genuine bottom-feeder.
Did he really just friend request your wedding date? What a Catfish!

I heard he told my ex that he would never treat her like I did... That Catfish sure loves his scraps.

Catfish are a group of fish that appearance wise usually have cat-like whiskers. They are actually barbers (although some catfish species do not have these). Some species of catfish can grow up to 3 meters while others can only grow up to 3 centimeters. Like many other fish, catfish use sounds created by their swimbladder to communicate with other catfish.
