In online gaming, a smurf is an experienced player who uses a new account to deceive other players into thinking he's a noob (newbie). The purpose is usually to play against less skilled opponents who will under-estimate the 'smurf'. The expected result is that the smurf will pwn (dominate) his opponents and humiliate them further as they have been now beaten by an apparent noob.
Haha I played company of heroes last night against two level 6 players. I totally smurfed them with my level 1 account. Poor noobs wanted an easy game.

Smurfs are the blue cartoon characters that live in mushroom houses.

Smurfs are also people that buy phenylpropanolamine for a speed (Amphetamine, Ethylamphetamine) cook. Since Phenylpropanolamine can be turned into Phenyl-2-Propanone, then into Ethylamphetamine, you tell the smurfs to buy Phenylpropanolamine. Smurfs get paid to get Phenylpropanolamine, but there's a chance they could get arrested. There are a lot of smurfs.
Crank: Buy Phenylpropanolamine. I'll pay you.
Steve: ok.

*buys Phenylpropanolamine.

Steve: *Hands Phenylpropanolamine (PPA) to Crank.
Crank: *Hands money.

Thanks smurfs
Crank: Cooks Crystal Speed.

In gaming culture, smurfing is defined as logging into a secret account seperate from a main account as to allow the user to play a game without being detected by his or her peers.

Generally the purpose of smurfing is to improve oneself without compromising the statistics of a main account. It allows gamers to try new strategies, or simply play without worrying about a "record".

Rich: I was smurfing earlier, tried the AS50 with the ACOG attachment, was lots of fun. Playing around with some new stuff.

David: Didn't want to mess up your stats I see.
