I thought that is supposed to be slap!. -- Edokter ( Talk) 16:32, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
/me slaps Soms around a bit with a large trout Mode +b !Slapper*@* by Soms
Wow, for some reason the word "wikitrout" just makes me giggle. :-D -- Iamunknown 16:01, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
You do realise that the God Emperor of Dune was half-trout, don't you?? Are we sure we want to go down this road? :P The Land 12:36, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Would I be correct in presuming that this expression derives from The Fish-Slapping Dance? If so, I find it hard to believe that we don't have a link yet. Newyorkbrad 21:37, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

This is not funny. This abuse of the namespace should be deleted and the perpetrators punished. This should be a Christ-blessed article, and NOT A STUB, if Scientizzle is going to link to it from press releases. I hope you enjoyed your nice inside joke, turkeys, because now you look asinine. I hope it was worth it. 76.247.104.56 ( talk) 02:50, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

This isn't a template that you can put on someone's talk page, but the whack someone with a minnow page is. Should the trout be turned into a template to make it more consistent and to make it easier to hit people with it? some page -- Turtle Boy 0 04:01, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
Is this any relation to cornhobbling? Eeekster ( talk) 05:18, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
I would like an option to be troutslapped with an smaller trout. Troutalt is the right size, but lacks the simplicity of a simple "WHACK!" is favor of a long explanation about "Spreading the WikiFun." Guy Macon ( talk) 22:45, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Whacking with a Wet Trout → Wikipedia:Whacking with a wet trout – Per WP:NCCAPS. How serious am I about this? I'm really not sure. -- BDD ( talk) 17:30, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
"Irish girl sought after fish-slapping incident in Lancashire".
BBC News Online. 25 February 2014. Police in England are searching for an Irish teenager who is said to have slapped a shop worker across the face with a large fish.

I've upgraded {{
Minnow}}
to support different alignments, floating to the left or right (e.g. to attach it to a talk page post without disrupting the page), and arbitrary CSS styling. —

At University we had a similar "slap with a wet fish" emote on our text-based MUD at University of Leeds in 1991 and I dare say it was around before then on green screens. I think the early MUDs started in the 1970's. It was possible to play online between UK universities using UNIX commands to make the login. Emotes were like an early form of emoji. Maybe this counts as "Original Research" as I am one of those originally around before the www went live in 1993. :-) Oh, and this smiley is just as old too.

I'm thinking of making the trout templates more descriptive by having the ability for the templates themselves to tell who whacked you and why, instead of having the user explain themselves in a separate message. I've already made these modifications to the versions of the trout templates ported over to Uncyclopedia. What do you think? ARandomPage, the named space ( Update them!)

Right! Stop that! It's far too silly! Don't take this too seriously. Another user just wants you to know something you said crosses their boundaries of sensibility. |

1979-1985 i was heavy into BBS's and i was sure i had slapped a couple before i went homeless... after my TRaSh-80 was "stolen" (get out... can't carry it? Boo Hoo!) didn't replace access until IRC was invented so decades may have clouded my mind but if my life had depended on it I'd have sworn it existed before 1986 AD Qazwiz ( talk) 18:22, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
