Leet-speak and its spoken form has a lot of varied insults, considering that is the dialect's main function aside from praising your own abilities.
The words noob, pwned, hax, sploits, gold farmer are tossed around so much, but there is one category of people that have no designation amongst gamers - those that simply play far, far too many games. Those that fulfill the stereotype of an overweight, pale, bespectacled, pimple-ridden, fast-food-chomping social failure that plays games 24/7. People like this are distinct from hardcore, highly-skilled and dedicated gamers (who play for the love of the game and due to their competitive spirit) by the fact that they play games because they have no other option in life. For example, my friend Rueben is a CS enthusiast and is ludicrously skilled thanks to several solid years playing. He is often accused of hacks and aimbots (which he doesn't use). However, Rueben is fit, has a girlfriend, travels a lot, plays the drums, and is basically a very normal person despite his heavy gameplay time. He's a hardcore gamer and yet the opposite of this category I am trying to describe.
So, after losing to someone that you KNOW is a fat pimply social fuckup that has beaten you not through skill but through simply spending his life on the game, what word do you use to cut them to the core?
