COY, adj.: Tending to avoid people and social situations; reserved. Affectedly and usually flirtatiously shy or modest. Annoyingly unwilling to make a commitment.
KOI, noun: Etymology: Japanese A carp (Cyprinus carpio) bred especially in Japan for large size and a variety of colors and often stocked in ornamental ponds .
Ergo: a koi pond is a pond with fish, and a coy pond is a pond that shyly flirts with the idea of having fish, but really wont make a commitment.
