A mouthy know-it-all who frequents the workman's bar of a pub and has an opinion on anything and everything, especially when someone requires advice about something the majority of us are not qualified to answer. Oh yes the tap-room lawyer's always on hand, he'll usually scrounge a pint, blow smoke in your face, relate an untold number of anecdotes and basically bore you shitless repeating his 'considered opinion'.
Of low social status this individual stands out because he is usually the laughing-stock of the pub, a 'character', a 'one', tolerated but God only knows why. What they need is a kick up the fuckin' jacksi

Did you hear about the new bypass that's being planned?
Yeah, the tap-room lawyers are in there theorising about the effect it'll have on the town.
Why the hell didn't you phone the consulate?!
Fred 'the jock' told me I wouldn't need a visa..
What?! Don't listen to that fuckin' tap-room lawyer. What the hell would that wanker know about travelling round Europe? The furthest he's been is an illegal copy of the 'Sound of Music'!

The one we all hate, who is never content not being the center of attention. Every story told near this guy gets a response of what he would've done, how you screwed up, or a whitty use of math/science to assert him dominance.

A term that has gained currency in New Zealand and Australian slang to describe a male who self-identifies as "bisexual" but is in reality using this label to avoid admitting that he is in fact completely gay.
Such a person will often be in denial as to their true sexual orientation and may attempt to maintain relations with females while soliciting covert same-sex relations, often anonymous in nature or downlow.
A man in the gay waiting room will likely leave emotional collateral damage on both sides of the gender divide in his bid to pass himself off as bisexual.
