off topic ditherings II: dither?

[swaldron@slip.net]

Hi again,
Does anyone know where the term "dither fish" came from? Is that another
Loiselle-ism? after my previous post, I realized i had no idea what the
word even meant, my oxford defines it as something akin to being nervous?
seems our connotation is exactly opposite?
