Wow, that's a blast from the past. Did it really originate in mIRC? Somehow I feel like it predated that, but maybe just because I didn't run Windows.

It sounded Monty Python-ish to me, and it looks plausible[1].

I first encountered it in the mid-to-late '90s, and it was definitely considered an IRCism back then (in that IRC was the only place you saw trouting), but I had no idea it originated as an mIRC builtin.
