A basement dwelling PvP gamer that insistently plays the most optimal characters, strategies or buys the best items at every opportunity. They *have* to win by any means necessary.
This behaviour is concomitantly linked with a lack of playing ability, which is observed whenever they are forced to play anything but meta-picks.
Meta-goblins act as a source of frustration for other players, as they often breach PvP etiquette within the community of said game.

"Look at this meta-goblin, he only plays Bellona in duel with death's embrace."
*Looks at his match history on SmiteGuru*
"Oh, and anytime Bellona gets banned they lose because they're incapable of playing any other character".

A way for e-thots and OnlyFans girls to get around Twitch's Terms of Service in order to post softcore pornography on their Twitch channel and/or promote their OF. Usually referred to in a sentence as "<blank> meta" where <blank> represents the strategy used to get around TOS.
"Do you know about the hot tub meta? Yeah it's a new Twitch meta where these girls are sitting in a hot tub in order to basically show off their bodies in a bikini and get more OF subs."
Twitch recently adjusted it's TOS allowing for artful nudity in response to a new "topless meta."

A great VR headset with the most uncool name. Sounds like the name of some random educational software. Compare that to a modern badass name like Oculus Rift or Oculus Go. The words themselves are very ambiguous. Like am I on a meta quest or something?? Lol.
Me when I think of Oculus Rift: *cool, epic gamer vibes ensues*
Me when I think of Meta Quest: *cricket, cricket....* oh wait, I think I'm feeling something.... *educational software vibes ensues*

“Meta” is a term for the dominant strategies, character choices, weapon builds, or playstyles that gives the player the highest chance of success in a particular game.
“The meta right now in Marvel Rivals is triple support characters and characters like Magneto and Emma Frost as tanks.”

When the number π perpetually ponders about “π”—whether she could forever command trust and respect among fellow numerical constants and in the mathematical community so that they would always think of her first.
Like e and 𝜙, π feels overworked and burned out. What are the odds that to some degree she’d be suffering from the meta-pi syndrome?
