What does the Internet buzzword salted fish mean?

The Internet buzzword "salted fish" is a metaphor for a person who has no ideals and dreams, and a person who does not want to do anything.

The word "salted fish" first came from a classic dialogue in Stephen Chow's movie "Shaolin Soccer", "If you don't have dreams, what's the difference between being a human being and salted fish?" It gradually evolved into the term we are talking about today. This self-deprecating sentence pattern implies that you are just a salted fish without dreams.
