Keyboard Warriors?

    I have only come across this term 'keyboard warrior' recently and it perfectly describes this guy I lived with 2 years ago, he was a geek/nerd if you will and had no social confidence or ability to communicate with people in person but when he got his fingers on the internet he became a legend of maverick in top gun proportion, like he would be blasting guys away in forums such as this, beating the brakes off people. Now this guy looked a little like this

    I'm just wondering if theres anyone on boards who is a bit of a keyboard warrior, maybe they have 700 friends on facebook but none in real life or in world of warcraft they are king of the goblins or something? Any warriors on the keys here?

    I wouldn't go as far as saying I'm a keyboard warrior but I'm certainly an internet tough guy

    A muggy little coat, eh. I can't keep up with these new-fangled internet insults at all, at all.

    says someone from Kerry?! HA ! :eek:

    EDIT: actually, there is a little bit of keyboard warrior in me. If you had said that in real life I’d probably just laugh politely.

    He sounds pretty cool. Did you get his autograph?

    keyboard warrior is a stupid phrase and keyboard warriors are equally stupid.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,399 ✭✭✭Bonito


    And the award for best keyboard warrior goes to, James McAvoy, for his part in the film "Wanted."

    Seriously, imagine cracking someone across the face with a keyboard and the keys coincidentally spelling "fúck you" flying through the air with teeth and blood. James is pretty bad ass with a keyboard!

    I've just woken up from having a long roidin session with my french model girlfriend, was about to go to the gym and lift about 400 pounds in weights and have a 3 hour jog to keep my 8 pack intact, when I went out on to the balcony of my spanish villa to use my apple macbook and I see this joke of a thread.
