Oh that makes sense.

I played sa:mp on a RP server and there was this one guy who always did

/me slaps x with a large trout

He also was Norwegian and I think trout is pretty big there (or I know salmon is at least) so I thought he'd come up with himself lol. This was nearly 20 years ago.

Nerds in the USA and the UK used to almost unanimously be Monty Python fans. I'm fairly certain it is a reference to the Fish Slapping Dance.

Ah yeah, I never watched too many of those sketches. Loved Holy Grail and Life of Brian and of course I never expect the Spanish Inquisition, but I think that’s pretty much all my Python knowledge. What has Monty Python ever done for us?
