lamer n.originally among amiga fans 1. synonym for luser, not used
   much by hackers but common among warez d00dz, crackers, and
   phreakers. a person who downloads much, but who never uploads. also
   known as `leecher'. oppose elite. has the same connotations of
   self-conscious elitism that use of luser does among hackers. 2.
   someone who tries to crack a bbs. 3. someone who annoys the sysop or
   other bbs users - for instance, by posting lots of silly messages,
   uploading virus-ridden software, frequently dropping carrier, etc.

   crackers also use it to refer to cracker wannabees. in phreak
   culture, a lamer is one who scams codes off others rather than doing
   cracks or really understanding the fundamental concepts. in warez
   d00dz culture, where the ability to wave around cracked commercial
   software within days of or before release to the commercial market is
   much esteemed, the lamer might try to upload garbage or shareware or
   something incredibly old old in this context is read as a few years to
   anything older than 3 days. `lamer' is also much used in the irc world
   in a similar sense to the above.

   this term originated among amiga crackers of the mid-1980s. it was
   popularized there by `lamer exterminator', the most famous and feared
   amiga virus ever, which gradually corrupted non-write-protected floppy
   disks with bad sectors. the bad sectors, when looked at, were
   overwritten with repetitions of the string `lamer'.
