Ok, what's the history with the fish slap? Way too many gifs of the damned thing for it to be some random fad.

Probably some fishmonger's wife in the olden days whacking him upside the head with a fish for cheating on her... razz lol There's some interesting info on the possible origins of "the fish slap" before Monty Python on this forum: https://boards.straightdo...p?t=140897

Ah, thank you. Interesting read. I'm not the only one who found it a bizarre thing to make it into pop culture.

The "fish lady" in this song "paints tenement walls" and doesn't slap anyone. Plus, the garbage man sings...like the local garbage man here used to do for years... wink
