The act of showing a very cynical or chauvinistic attitude about women online to try to look "alpha".
Black knights are often guys who are disillusioned as a result of formerly trying to be white knights just to get women to like them, and are now going in the opposite extreme thinking that women love jerks. Usually however they just come across as posers or internet tough guys.
Example of black knighting:
Guy 1: Last night I brought a bitch home from the club and didn't even buy her a drink, then I kicked her out of the house right after I splooged on her face.
Guy 2: Damn that's so alpha!

A pretentious film, movie, TV, or food critic. Has little to no real knowledge of film criticism, music theory beyond a few blurbs they read on Rotten Tomatoes or IMDB, etc yet gives condescending or trollish advice on internet message boards about how everyone else's taste sucks.
Often associated with hipsters or other "counter-culture" niches who think that dissing anything "mainstream" automatically makes them looks smart or "deeper" than everyone else, but in reality they end up looking more like a self-caricature.
Similar in many ways to the armchair philosopher, armchair comedian, armchair politician, etc. As a result of spending too much time online and having only very stupid people to compare themselves to, they develop a false sense of grandeur in spite of their mediocrity.

PUA is short for pick-up artistry. A live-action role playing game in which geeky guys role-play being "suave sophisticated players".
The rules of the game involve constantly approaching strange women that one meets at bars, clubs, shopping malls, etc and repeating some canned lingo or "pick up line", usually resulting in rejection. While occasionally it does result in the participant getting laid, this is usually the result of trial and error, or simply spending hours every week trolling bars and nightclubs, and rarely if ever the result of the "game itself".
Contrary to belief though, the object of the game isn't even strictly about "getting laid", but rather proving to other players that one is not afraid of rejection. Which why some guys continue to persist in it even after 100s of rejections instead of just finding a hobby where they can meet women natually.
PUA- I spend the last weekend leveling up my nightgame status, but now my daygame is underleveled. I think I'll hit up the shopping mall and approach a few 7/10s today and practice my negs.

A term with a somewhat subjective meaning which refers to a man who's considered high in status or a paradigm of masculinity. Originated in 1989 by martial artist instructor Marc "Animal" McYoung.
How it's measured however varies a lot depending on who's using it.
Sometimes it refers to a stereotypical 'macho', gangsta, jock, or tough guy, other times it refers to a ladies man or playboy who has sex with lots of beautiful women, or other times a guy who's wealthy or socially powerful, such as a successful entrepreneur, CEO, etc.
As mentioned above often it's just used to refer to superficial and stereotypically "manly" qualities, other times however it refers to character traits independent from a man's material status, such as strength, courage, mastery, and honor.
A beta man is an average or below average man on the 'alpha' scale; either a guy who's not very socially respected or attractive to women, or one who demonstrates weak or spineless behavior in general, sometimes posers and fake 'alphas' get referred to as betas as well.
Chuck Norris is such an alpha man that he can have sex with any woman OR man he wants... of any species.

An anti-conformist is a pseudo-individual who thinks being "non-mainstream" or part of a "sub-culture" is automatically an individual.
Examples include some (but not all) members of many "social outcast" subcultures such as emos, goths, juggalos, bronies, btards, geeks, new atheists, metalheads, stoners, hipsters, Ron Paul fans, SJWs, even Scientologists.
Ironically anti-conformists are more conformist than the majority of "normal people", and are just as bigoted as the stereotypically "cool" or "popular" cliques such as jocks, preps, cheerleaders, sorority girls, etc.
Try arguing that the Phantom Menace is better than the original Star Wars at a Sci-Fi convention, and you may be treated like a heretic in medieval Europe. Try telling a metalhead that you enjoy a few Lady Gaga songs and you'll get a similar result. Or ask a hipster to try watching any movie which isn't "foreign, indie, arthouse", etc and he'll tell you it's crap without even watching it.
Some subcultures started out as something original, but nowadays are often a manufactured image people adopt for negative attention - like the jock who buys his clothes at Abercrombie and Fitch, a metalhead will buy his tattered jeans and black T-shirts at Hot Topic yet still claim to be non-conformist.
In short they're essentially to normalcy what the Punisher (an anti-hero) is to Superman (a hero) - but an anti-hero is still a protagonist no matter how much it denies it.
South Park showed a perfect example of anti-conformist mindset. While the "goth kids" prided themselves on being non-conformist, in reality they generalized and excluded anyone who didn't dress exactly the same as them or listen to the same music as them, proving themselves to be some of the biggest conformists around.
A true individual on the other hand has a wide variety of interests - he may enjoy both heavy metal and pop music at the same time, or might enjoy playing Dungeons and Dragons while still enjoying sports - the difference is that he chooses his interests out of genuine interest rather than just trying to affect a certain image, and is typically a lot more tolerant toward people with different tastes rather than expecting everyone to be a carbon copy of himself.

The female version of a beta male or the fake nice guy:
Often overweight or below average in attractiveness; often poor taste in fashion
Less successful socially or professionally than her alpha peers, spends most of her free time clubbing, hanging out, playing on her smartphone, getting her nails done, etc and if she's a parent she's usually not as good a mom or emotionally invested in her kids.
Often resentful of men out of jealousy at being turned down - thinks that men are pigs who only care about tits and ass (but likes Drake, Usher, Justin Bieber, etc just because they're "hotties").
Resentful of more attractive women and thinks of them as slutty and superficial (similar to the beta males who assume all guys more attractive than them are douchebags.
Sometimes overcompensates for her unattractive qualities by acting more masculine; similar to how Bronies or less manly types of guys shun 'traditional' male roles in favor of more feminine interests due to feeling alienated from their peers.
etc
Beta male. Women only date guys who are jerks, I can't get a girlfriend because I'm too nice!
Beta female. Guys only date women with a big booty and tits. I can't get a boyfriend because I'm too nice!

When a person automatically dislikes a new version, sequel, or remake of a movie, TV show, or video game (usually without even trying it) just because it isn't "the original" version that they grew up with. This is especially common with older generations, as well as hardcore fanbases of some series (Star Wars and the hatred for the prequel trilogy being a notable example).
*Drew has a bad case of original-itis. Even though Daniel Craig's performance as James Bond has received excellent praise from critics , he refuses to even watch the new Bond films just because they aren't the old Connery films that he grew up with.
My English teacher's original-itis told the class that Leonardo DiCaprio's Romeo + Juliet movie was a bastardization of Shakespeare's play. She was shocked when I informed her that Shakespeare's play was actually copied from on older Italian poem "Romeus and Juliet".
