armchair biology 

Biology research so pointless its only real use is for the people who research it to sit around in armchairs discussing said pointless dribble with each other. Ironically, armchair biologists usually feel a false sense of superiority, insisting that the obscurity of their work only makes is more special and therefore noteworthy. Such research is often conducted in a whale jail and may or may not be cupcake science. In summary, armchair biology wastes money and time to help nobody in the end and armchair biologists are pretentious assholes.

Mark: Julie just spent 9 years on her Ph.D. figuring out the chemical compounds in eider spit from the western Aleutian Islands.
John: Nobody is ever going to give a shit about that in a million years, what a goddamn waste of time!
Mark: Yeah I know, another bright mind lost to armchair biology.

Armchair Fan

A fan of american football or any sport where they react in an extreme way to the teams ups and downs without any actual knowledge of the sport. Often calling into radio shows to voice their displeasure.

Radio Caller: The Eagles lost this past weekend, fire the coach and bench the QB! I never liked those bums anyway!

Steve: Damn armchair fans know nothing about football. One games does not a season make!

armchair gladiator 

An armchair Gladiator is someone that watches UFC and never misses an event telling you exactly two seconds after a move was made what move the guy was going to make. He's never had any martial arts training but can't tell you all the moves that it takes to beat certain opponents because he plays Street Fighter video games.

Watching UFC with Todd is so freaking annoying he's the worst "Armchair Gladiator" and hasn't been in a fight in his life!
