Fishy


Fishy can mean connected with or concerning or arising from a fish, apart from the smell; it can also mean suspect, rotten, corrupt, and several other things without any relation to fish. So, take this picture for instance. I could call it fishy and probably get away with it; but then actually it is the remnant of a scoop of strawberry ice cream. Now, if that is not fishy, what is?

Ah but if a cat were to find it and lick it up it would indeed, in the cat's consciousness, be equivalent to fishy.

Please dont spoil the game by reminding me that a cat has no consciousness. It has i assure you, only in catsworld it resides in the nose and tongue :)

That's why it is fishy: because of the uncertainty, and because of the doubt it provokes: is it an aquatic creature, skeletal leftover, part of a larger pattern and design? Is it edible? Is it venomous? The strawberry ice cream, the leftover of which it was, was certainly not fishy.
