On the internet, a "catfish" is a person who creates fake personal profiles on social media sites — pretending to be someone more outwardly appealing than his/her true self — by using someone else's pictures and false biographical information. These "catfish" usually intend to trick an unsuspecting person or persons into falling in love with them. The term "catfish" is derived from the title of a 2010 documentary film, in which filmmaker Nev Schulman discovers that the 19-year-old woman he'd been carrying on an online relationship with was not real, and the woman was found to be an online catfish
An office is generally a room or other area where #administrativework is done, but may also denote a position within an #organizationwith specific duties attached to it (see officer, office-holder, official); the latter is in fact an earlier usage, office as place originally referring to the location of one's duty. When used as an adjective, the term "office" may refer to business-related tasks. In legal writing, a company or organization has offices in any place that it has an official presence, even if that presence consists of, for example, a storage silo rather than an office.

The domestic lolcat (Felis catus or Felis silvestris catus. feline) is a small, usually furry, domesticated, and carnivorous mammal. It is often called the housecat when kept as an indoor pet,[6] or simply the cat when there is no need to distinguish it from other felids and felines. Cats are often valued by humans for companionship and their ability to hunt vermin and household pests. Cats are similar in anatomy to the other felids, with strong, flexible bodies, quick reflexes, sharp retractable claws, and teeth adapted to killing small prey. Cat senses fit a crepuscular and predatory ecological niche. Cats can hear sounds too faint or too high in frequency for human ears, such as those made by mice and other small animals. They can see in near darkness. Like most other mammals, cats have poorer color vision and a better sense of smell than humans. Despite being solitary hunters, cats are a social species, and cat communication includes the use of a variety of vocalizations (meowing, purring, trilling, hissing, growling and grunting) as well as cat pheromones and types of cat-specific body language. Cats have a rapid breeding rate. Under controlled breeding, they can be bred and shown as registered pedigree pets, a hobby known as cat fancy. Failure to control the breeding of pet cats by spaying and neutering, and the abandonment of former household pets, has resulted in large numbers of feral cats worldwide, requiring population control
A rage comic is a short comic utilizing a growing set of pre-made cartoon faces, or #meme faces, which usually express rage or some other simple emotion or activity. These comics have spread much in the same way that internet memes do, and several memes have originated in this medium. They have been characterized by Ars Technica as an "accepted and standardized form of online communication." Rage comics' popularity has been attributed to their use as vehicles for humorizing shared experiences.[2] The range of expression and standardized, easily identifiable faces has allowed uses such as teaching English as a foreign language. Although used on numerous websites such as Echeezburger.com, ifunny.mobi, ESS.MX, and 9GAG, the source of the rage comic has largely been attributed to 4chan in mid-2007. The name #Rageguy refers to the main character of a series of crudely-drawn Ecomics (AKA Rage Comics) typically consisting of four panes, portraying situations which can bring Erage and Eexasperation, with the main character screaming with Eanger as a result. Due to its simplicity and exploitability, Rageguy has been proven popular thus being evolved into a #ragecomics series now known as Rage Comics.
