From Decoding the Sapphic Internet: A Crash Course in Online Lesbian Lingo

“specifically working-class African American lesbians who identified themselves as fish and studs.”

Note: Historically, Fish have identified as lesbian, bisexual, queer etc. Also, due to racial discrimination in education and employment, fish and studs were able to move between the working-class, middle-class and upper-class fluidly because the African American community had a different view and criteria for class distinctions.
