A term used when something in a game (generally an MMOG or FPS) is weakened considerably.

Nerfbat came about because Nerf creates harmless versions of harmful devices (swords, guns, etc).

When an MMORPG developer gives something the nerfbat, they often drastically reduce the effectiveness of said item.

Band Nerdbags 

Sweaty, gross smelling band kids who dedicate their life to marching like ants, or playing dated pop songs at pep rallies. Ones who proudly sport any and all band merch. Dog tags, jackets, t-shirts. They never forget to lube up their instruments, but they always forget deodorant. They carry their instruments with them like trophies while everyone else severely judges them. They're confident in themselves, but they really shouldn't be.
"Those Band Nerdbags are stinking up the gym again!"
"Who left their clarinet in the urinal! Must have been one of those band nerdbags.."
"Look at those band nerdbags playing Confident by Demi Lovato! That song was released in 2015!
