Lag Child (noun): A term used in online gaming to describe a player who benefits from lag without realizing it, and believes their success is due to their skill rather than the advantage provided by the lag. This player is often oblivious to the fact that their internet connection is causing them to have an advantage over their opponents, and may deny using it to gain an advantage. The term is often used to describe players who may not intentionally cheat but still benefit from a poor internet connection. However, it is important to note that having an advantage from lag in online gaming is still considered unfair and can ruin the experience for other players. A "lag child" is not an honorable or respectable player, and their behavior is often seen as dishonest and disrespectful to other players.
Person 1: "Did you see that player in the last match? They kept dodging all my attacks, but I couldn't seem to land a hit on them!"

Person 2: "Yeah, I noticed that too. I think they might be a lag child."

lag storage 

Storage as a computer medium to hold/keep files and information. Lag as in "to be slow". LAG Storage is a virtual storage, as where a person stores infomation/files/data in lag. This lag is created where computer A sends the data to comptuer B...and then B sends it back to A, forming a continuous loop of transmitted data. While the data is being transferred in the loop, the data is technically being stored. One of the comptuers can section off the data and contain it for viewing, and when finished send it back along its way. Slower connections tend to yield more storage space in theory. Only compter A and B can piece back together the data to read because of the code, making it secure.
Your computer is so slow, it can be used for LAG Storage. I had to keep the file in LAG Storage so the police would not catch onto me.
