I don’t know about you, but these are the guys I want advertising my fish derby. But what exactly is a fish derby? Is a hat worn by fish? A hat made out of fish? A smart fishskin derby worn by the discrimating gent or au courant young lady looking to make a dent in the impervious surface of jaded journalism? If you wear a fish derby to your home comming, or maybe accesorize it with a ball tourament (a small metal axle designed for rotating balls and keeping them fresh), the small-town print media will come a' stampeding.

Via folk-etymology, from фуш derby, the hat favored by Alex and his droogs; from фушат,
'to beat savagely while singing'.
I hate the comma between 'fish' and 'scorn'.
That's it. You can't mock the annual fish derby, sir. Pack up your rod reel, and I'll pick you up at 5am.(The fish start bitin' around then, from what I recall)I'm sure there's a derby going on around here somewhere...and once you catch the biggest fish, and get your picture in the local paper, you'll be hooked.
