Pronounced /aɪnʃtant/ or /ɛɪnʃtɒnd/. Typically non-capitalized if not used in languages other than German.
A german word, originally meaning something along the lines of "honorary joining" or "gift given upon entering service" (and also, a term in tennis).
In Hungarian, the term is nowadays used to describe when someone steals something, though, it originally meant to take something by force, on the "right of the stronger" - essentially, might makes right, and the mighty have the right to all.
This description of the word originates from Hungarian writer Ferenc's Molnár's famous youth novel, "The Paul Street Boys", where it was described as a word used by bigger kids, when they want to take a smaller kid's toys - basically saying that unless the toy in question is handed over, there will be trouble - a one-word note of seizure by force.
While originally an invented re-appropriation, the word soon entered popular slang, thanks to the novel's popularity, and is still widely used today, albeit, it's meaning has now been altered to mean either taking something for your own use (when it is for public use), and hogging it to yourself, or used ironically, when someone takes something before you, simply on a "first come, first served" basis.

People (gamers who play Online Mass Multiplayers, in particular) who seem to play without any coherent idea as to what they should do, and remain oblivious about the positions of their team, the enemy, or even complete functions and aspects of the game they're playing.
Their gameplay is so atrociously bad, that it gives the impression they suffer from Attention Decifit Disorder, or have never even heard of computer or video games until that very moment, despite having played the game a couple hundred times by then.
In most cases, they're completely detrimental to the team, dying early on without contributing much, or even hindering the game for others.
In the rare occasions they're actually helpful, it's more by accident than by willful act from their part (i.e. acting as cannon fodder, or spotting enemies and giving them something to concentrate on)
