Armchair General

A person who sits in a chair behind a computer and leads people or at least attempts to, instead of doing it in person. Usually complains about government, organization, military, political, or religious events through blogs, forums, and social networking sites.
Forum administrator, "Wow, these people are really getting angry, they might start a rally for real soon."

Forum administrator2, "nah, they're just a bunch of armchair generals, they won't do anything if it means having to get up and move around."

Armchair Economist

Any person who does not have the intelligence or experience to even begin to understand the world's economies but decides their opinions are what will return the world to a time of prosperity anyway. These people often make no effort to even consider the possibility that people who do this for a living are acting in the best interest of the majority.
I heard some armchair economist say, "if the government gave everyone a new Chevy, that would fix the economy".

archaeology

1. (What archaeology should be) You've started your archaeology course. It's the first day, you have your hat, whip and designer stuble and are ready to go and kick ass. Everything is exciting, there are always nazi scum to shoot, imprisoned children to free and artefact s to "rescue". If you are an archaeologist you can also get laid easily.

2. What archaeology is :( . You're there, on your uni course, let's say in Exeter for example. Pen in hand. Peering around the lecture theatre at various other odd looking characters that look like they should never have been allowed to leave wales , sommerset or whatever random back country they escaped from. There's hours of looking at dendrochronology, pollen diagrams, and geophysical bull shit. (That's not the good kind of pollen either :( ) Archaeology causes insanity, a strong accent and excitement over broken ceramics .

Avoid at all costs. Unless you are already displaying archaeology symptoms, then you may well enjoy.
*queue theme music* Look at him killing all those nazi's! He must have done archaeology!

This week you will be looking at carbonised grain and what it can tell us about past cultures and how they farmed.

archaic victory

The above definition is mistaken. What the author is talking about is not an "archaic victory," but a Pyrrhic victory.
Tony Soprano would probably refer to a Pyrrhic victory as an archaic victory.
