Posterboy

A posterboy (or “poster boy,” also “postergirl/poster girl” as appropriate) is a usually famous person who is heavily associated with and/or generally found to represent a given movement, subculture, religious group, fandom, etc. to people who do not belong to said group. The name comes from their frequent appearances in the group’s promotional materials, especially posters. Generally, they are very outspoken, opinionated and experienced within their group, though a single act gaining major media attention can also thrust someone into posterboy-dom. Examples of posterboys include Richard Dawkins for the atheist community and Dan Savage for the homosexual community.

Unfortunately, due to the vocal minority effect, and the fact that sensationalist actions and statements tend to gain the most mainstream media attention, many posterboys hold wildly extreme views that aren’t supported by the majority of their groups, leading many to unfairly judge others who are normally perfectly sane.

I hate calling myself an atheist anymore because our posterboys like Dawkins and Hitchens make us all look like assholes.

de-motivational poster

A take off of the classic 'motivational posters'. De-motivational posters are more often than not sarcastic, insulting, or making fun of something widely known, or comical.

Often a picture bordered in black, with a large single word title written in white, and in some cases a comment below written in smaller font.

Did you see that de-motivational poster on 4-chan?

over poster

Some one who takes up an entire page on a message board to get one point across. Will typically take up 15 minutes of your day with a useless post. The post usually pertains to how he is better than you at something, thus taking up an entire page to do so when he could write one sentence.

we are better than you.

Skip is a classic over poster, he has wasted hours of my time with those drawn out posts on the message board.
