A general pejorative used primarily in online communities, particularly
gaming communities.
Etymology: Originally used in Chris Coutt'
s Tales for the L33T, an adaptation of Shakespeare'
s classic Romeo and Juliet for a generation more familiar with internet vernacular than Renaissance-era English. The phrase originated from a dialogue between Gregory and Sampson, the former referring to the latter as "Sampfag," a portmanteau of "Sampson" and "
fag."
