(AU) The cry of a fish-seller.
' He's as misheppen a chap as ever I seed.'
A fish in family.
Australian slang with a double life: it can refer to a fisherman who actually catches fish, or to a fishmonger who sells them — context usually makes it clear. It also lives on as the traditional cry of a fish seller at markets, the local equivalent of 'Fresh fish here!' The '-o' suffix is quintessentially Australian, applied to all kinds of occupations and words (tradie, garbo, smoko) to create casual, egalitarian nicknames. Fisho is warm and familiar, evoking weekend fishing trips, seafood markets, and coastal Australian life.
