Tap the Aquarium

To berate weaker players, (fish), giving them unsolited advice on their game. This risks making the table less profitable as the player may leave the table or play better. The phrase is used in phil Gordon's Little Green Book.

Example: When my Kings were beaten by a fish who called with 52s, I went on tilt and had a mega rant. I called him a Donkey and to keep calling pre-flop with trash, until another player told me not to tap the aquarium.
