An insult, usually used after losing an online argument, by lunkheads (see alpha male) towards those with superior knowledge or intellect, as a way of trying to change the subject and thus become the victor or to save face after proving themself to be less intelligent online than someone else. In the days before the internet, after losing a verbal argument, a person using this term today would physically attack the winner of a verbal battle, attempting to become the victor of a physical battle. In business, commonly used by those in management to refer to less vocal and therefore non-management staff (see promotion has nothing to do with ability). Usually the target of the insult is disabled in some way, e.g. autistic or mute, therefore the term is a form of discrimination or bullying.
"That non-verbal autistic guy thinks he's so smart but he's just a keyboard warrior, he wouldn't dare say that to my face or I'd smash his face in."

A total fuckass who sits in their mom's basement all day with pride and l'manburg flags on the wall replying to people who actually have a brain to kill themselves or leaking their home address because they said or did something that was slightly offensive to them.
These people are often furries/zoophiles, gun grabbers, leftists, bronies, sneako fans, ssniperwolf fans, lgbtqlgtvblm+++++, and shippers.

Steve: Hey look in that basement window, it's a keyboard warrior.
Khaila: She's rapidly typing a 10 paragraph arguement laced with racial insults. Do we do anything about it?
Steve: No, she will be absolutely destroyed by same people with well put together arguements.
