Salty

A state of extreme frustration and disbelief, usually caused by stress and repeated failure while playing a videogame. A salty player will usually not attribute their failure to their opponent's skill or their lack of skill. Instead, they will reference external factors, such as their teammate's lack of skill, the game or game servers' poor optimization or design, or a greifer interrupting their gameplay.
