The 'Cockfishing' meme is a humorous internet trend that plays on the term 'catfishing' by featuring images of massive roosters, typically the Brahma breed, often held close to the camera to exaggerate their size. The joke relies on the double entendre of the bird's name and the visual shock of seeing a chicken that looks as large as a small child. It gained significant popularity on social media platforms like TikTok and Twitter, where users would post these 'misleading' photos to surprise their followers. The meme is primarily used to subvert expectations or as a literal pun, highlighting the surreal and impressive nature of giant poultry breeds through a lens of modern dating terminology.
