<humour> (By analogy with FIFO - first-in, first-out) first
in, still here.
A joking way of pointing out that processing of a particular
sequence of events or requests has stopped dead. Also "FISH
mode" and "FISHnet"; the latter may be applied to any network
that is running really slowly or exhibiting extreme flakiness.
