A person who is irrationally opposed to owning, operating, or even looking at content displayed on a handheld device; based entirely on the operating system in use by said device.
Such a person may go out-of-their-way to show everyone around that they don't know how to do ordinary things on said device, such as opening an app or scrolling content; believing that doing so affords them some form of cred.

"Hey Dave, -how are your home renovations going?"
"Awesome! Here, I've been taking pics as I go."
"How the hell do I scroll photos? I can't make sense of this damn thing."
"Exactly the same way as you're used to, Carl. You're such an angroid."

Just as a Baker's Dozen historically refers to 13 (typically as bread rolls), A Chipper's Dozen refers to some number greater than that which was ordered, typically applied to Potato Cakes / Potato Scallops / Potato Fritters. In any such case, the customer will order and pay for some number of these fried delights and typically receive something like 1.3 to 1.5x that number. More typically this applies to an order less than a dozen, so it is more useful (though more cumbersome) to describe a "Chipper's half-dozen".
"Order 67! - 8 potato cakes."
"Yep, that's me."
"Yeah no worries. A few of these looked a bit puny so I threw in a couple more for ya."
"Thanks mate. Whoa thanks, there's like 10 in here or maybe more?"
"You're alright - just a standard Chipper's dozen."

A user (A) who will actively volunteer to help another user (B), just so that they can make a big show of how they don't know how to use B's machine, based solely upon deliberate ignorance of the operating system. They will thus insist that they don't know how to perform simple functions on an OSX or Unix machine, even though many such functions are handled exactly the same way as windows. Essentially the opposite of a unix or osx fanboy.
"OK so I'll just plug in this projector and we'll get started. - Oh, it's set to mirror. I was planning on doing this in Presenter Mode..."
"Oh, I can fix that, here let me... OH SHHHIIII- I didn't realise you were using one of...THESE things. I have no idea how to fix this on OSX."
"Christ, Bill. You're such a Windozer. Look - Apple menu> System Settings...>Displays. This is really the same as control panel. You're just making a big deal over nothing. Make an effort will ya??"
