Armchair Racing

Acting like a race car driver while never having driven a race car on a track.

An automotive forum user who spends the majority of their free time researching racing products for their non-existent race car.

Research can also include racing techniques, building a race vehicle, proper configuration for said racing vehicle, etc.
Taking place in a discussion forum:

Andy says: "EBC RedStuff Brakes will not be on any (Insert race team name here) performance vehicles.

Since we are all into armchair racing on this forum, here is my current ideal race car setup: ...."

Brian replies with: "But I've read so many good things about EBC RedStuff Brake Pads online! I haven't ever used them, but I'm sure that any racer, any real racer would want to use them."

Armchair genius

A person, particularly in science academia, who *never* actually does any work, but loves to obnoxiously pontificate during meetings on a wide variety of topics, usually exposing the fact that they have no practical knowledge on any topic whatsoever. When it comes time to publish, they insist that they be included on the author list because they contributed "expertise" and "guidance". They butt into private work conversations, and immediately use the royal "we" to describe what "we" are doing on the project.

Such individuals are invariably total ass kissers to those in charge, which explains how they are often able to progress in academia despite knowing fuck all, and contributing nothing.
"The new graduate student is a total frickin' armchair genius. He's coming down the hall... quick, close the door and pretend we're not here before he tries to pretend he's in charge of the lab project we've been working on for the past five years."

ArchadianChazi

ArchadianChazi is the MCPON of the Navy and overall kinda irrelevant. He used to be the NIG (lol) before he betrayed us and left for Chief Justice of JAGC. Overall, not the best HICOM but pretty good.
"Is that ArchadianChazi?"

"Yes, it is."

"TRAITOR!"
