Squidded

Squidded refers to the act of using a squid as a projectile, often in a humorous or unexpected manner. This can involve throwing, launching, or otherwise propelling a squid towards a target or person. The term gained particular traction and notoriety from its association with the popular internet meme originating from a viral video.

In the context of the meme, "squidding" involves a person being struck by a raw squid, which is typically thrown from an unseen source. The surprise and absurdity of the event are key elements of the humor. While the meme itself is lighthearted, the practice raises some practical and ethical considerations. Using live animals in such a manner would be considered animal cruelty, and therefore, the "squidding" depicted in popular culture almost exclusively involves dead or preserved squid. The act is generally understood as a form of prank or performance art, with its popularity largely confined to online platforms and certain subcultures. There are no established sports or official organizations dedicated to squidding.
