Armchair Logger

Someone who logs a geocache find, without having actually visited the geocache. Quite often getting a fellow geocacher to sign their name in the logbook, while they are elsewhere.

They may have found a lot of geocaches, but everyone knows they are an armchair logger.

Armchair General

All the self-appointed Sun Tzus and Napoleans who frequently comment on military threads or comment sections believing they know better than actual military generals and lash out against his so called "enemy commentators" when faced with an opposing argument.

Comment: "The U.S. Lend Lease was a major factor in WWII that helped save the Soviets."

Armchair General: "You obviously dont know anything. Russia would just move further east and lend lease was liek 0.0001% of ussr production. USA was coward, didnt help much, and only came when russia did all the dirty work."

Stalin: "Without the machines we received through Lend-Lease, we would have lost the war.” (His actual words)

Armchair Opinion

An armchair opinion is someone who offers advice or criticism without having active experience or first-hand knowledge. The term refers to a person who knows about a subject only by reading or hearing about it, rather than having practical experience in the field.

Every man and their dog, offering an armchair opinion. When in actual fact they have no clue.
