A distrohopper is someone that keeps switching from one linux distribution to another, not with the intention to just test a certain Linux distribution, but with the illusion to find the perfect Linux distribution that suits all his/her needs and to install that as his/her main Operating System. Ofcours that distro does not exist.
excuses for the distrohopper: not the latest version of a certain application, a certain feature is not available in his current distro but it is available in distro X, he/she suddenly hates the theme of his current distro and distro X has this nice iconset

distrohopping is a term for linux users who can't decide what linux distribution to use, for example
one may switch from fedora to arch then to mint to find the "right taste for them"
usually this is only a phase until one finds the right distro for them.
(Which is arch if they're a transgirl, gentoo if they're a masochist, etc.)
