A verb, as in "to Black Knight".
Refers to the act of attacking an opponents legs with one's teeth.
A phrase coined by Max Brooks, in his work World War Z, and itself a homage to Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Black Knight: All right; we'll call it a draw.
Arthur: Come, Patsy.
Black Knight: Oh, oh, I see, running away then. You yellow bastard! Come back here and take what's coming to you. I'll bite your legs off!

When a guy rides a bike over to a girl's house, fucks her in the ass, and then rides his bike immediately home. (Inspired by Drama from the episode of Entourage when he says he fucked a chick in the ass and then made her ride her bike home.)
Person A: Dude, you'll never believe what I did last night.
Person B: What?
Person A: I Black Knighted Sara!
Person B: Wow, that's awesome! I've never successfully pulled off The Black Knight.

Black Knight Syndrome (BKS) is the condition of being pathologically unable to acknowledge defeat.
The syndrome takes its name from the Black Knight in Monty Python's 'Holy Grail'. In this motion picture the Black Knight loses an arm in a sword fight with King Arthur, and claims that "'Tis but a scratch". On losing his second arm the Black Knight says that it is "Just a flesh wound". After losing one of his legs the Knight exclaims "I'm invincible!", and when his second leg is cut from under him he says "All right; we'll call it a draw".
BKS is commonly found in people afflicted with the Dunning-Kruger Effect, and it is typified by people who refuse to accept evidence that demonstrates beyond doubt that evolution is a fact, or that global warming is real, or that HIV causes AIDS. Indeed, such people have an irrational inability to accept the truth of any of a number of other scientific disciplines where the physical evidence trumps their conspiracy theories, vested interests, and/or ideologies.
BKS is also frequently found in people otherwise prone to Denial Silence.
The typical pattern of a conversation with a BKS afflictee involves the opposing, educated party presenting supportable fact after fact, carefully referenced and explained, whilst the ignorant BKS sufferer simply contradicts each devastating point with random, unevidenced counterclaims of his or her own. Due to this strategy, such exchanges rarely have a satisfactory conclusion.

In an online debate about the reality of modern global temperature increase, Vincent was insistent that no warming had occurred over the 20th century, no matter how much independent evidence was presented to him, from many countries and employing many different lines of analysis.
The thread would have persisted for months, if not years, had not the other blog participants acknowledged that Vincent was exhibiting a severe case of Black Knight Syndrome, and subsequently quarantined Vincent to a rubbish thread.

Similar to a White Knight. Black Knights strive to uphold righteousness and a "do or die" mentality when it comes to social justice. They maintain a ridiculous set of standards, rules, and unrealistic expectations regarding how a community should be upheld/changed. They maintain a black-and-white view of the world, and leave little room for human error.
They are fond of over-blowing "problematic" issues, crying wolf when it comes to online drama (especially personal conversations), digging up dirt on people, and enforcing a strict "order" despite any chaos it might cause as a result. They will always do this for personal satisfaction, rather than for any social gratification, as even if people argue with them, they'll simply choose not to listen or to dissect arguments or the people arguing with them in similar fashion. Even if they are proven wrong, in the end, they will continue to believe in their own viewpoint.
Black Knights will also abuse their position in social justice and use common buzz words or phrases in order to paint whatever target they dislike in the worst light possible in order to try and de-popularize it/them within their community. If you are imperfect, then to them, you are worthy of death.
Black Knights can be found practicing Cringe Culture and Cancel Culture, and love spreading rumors and/or drama regarding popular people or subjects in order to find and exploit any and all flaws in a potential icon/idol, subject, or piece of media.

Black Knight dialogue;
"You shouldn't enjoy (FANDOM) because (XYZ...) and if you do then you're irredeemable scum and I hope you die :)"
"I'm writing this callout post for (internet friend) because they're ABUSIVE" ((they're not, this person is lying to make their friend look bad and using fake screenshots))
"I don't care what anyone says, I still think he's definitely abusive, the people defending him are all brainwashed idiots, and the guy who defended him is ALSO problematic, and the people defending him, and the people defending the people who defended the guy who defended him, and-"
