FISH queue

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.
