Really? Tbh, I’m old as fuck, so it may not be a thing in drag slang any more. It’s been something like eight or nine years since I’ve even been to a show.
But, back as far as the early naughties, when I was still working, it was at least still in circulation locally. Was talking to a friend that used to do a killer Tina Turner set, and he was complaining about women, as in cis women, wanting to do drag. He said “I heard of serving real fish, but they taking it too far”.
Coulda sworn ru paul got a bit of backlash for using it as well.

I’m 34, but I was only really active within that community when I was dating that guy, so about 5 years or so between 2010-2015
