Scifam

Colloquially, a backstabbing traitor or other such undesirable character. Can also be used to refer to an entire group of such persons (see examples)
Usage first arose on internet gaming sites. The exact origins are unknown, but the first part may be a conflation of the words 'sketch' and 'spy', thus referring to the unsavory information-gathering habits of someone who is scifam. The second half of the word, 'fam' may be a shortened form of 'family' thus indicating that unfortunately, there is a large number of people like this, as scifam prefer quantity over quality.

"I just found out that the guy I thought was my friend completely backstabbed me"
"Dude, that sucks. But I always thought he might be scifam."

"This guys has, like, a couple hundred players following him, but they're all complete n00bs"
"Yeah, quantity over quality - typical scifam!"

Sciamachy

English word derived from Greek roots, skia- meaning dark, shadows, machos meaning fighting. Thus, variously it means to fight shadows, fighting an unseen enemy, shadowboxing, a flurry of inexplicable movement like a fit (imagine someone fighting an invisible foe), and from that latter meaning, absurdity. It's also my online nick that I use pretty well everywhere, picked semi-randomly from my big old dictionary :-)

This war on terror is pure sciamachy: we don't know who the enemy is, we have no defined conditions of victory, and it can't be a war as such because wars are conflicts between states.

A scientologist, in lolcat-speak. More generally, anyone stupid enough to buy ad space on UrbanDictionary.com that will show beside definitions like this one. Yes, as of April 2008, the Church of Scientology thinks this is a good idea.

Scifag

Scifag is a derogatory term for a person obsessed with Scientology.

Detailed definition:
The word 'scifag' is a portmanteau on the words 'Scientology' and 'fag', the latter being short for 'faggot', a derogatory term for homosexuals. The wording of (noun)-fag carries the meaning of being 'gay for (noun)', which in turn means 'to be obsessed with (noun)', e.g. a Gucci-fag is a person obsessed with Gucci products.

The word scifag therefore describes someone who is 'gay for Scientology', meaning they are obsessed with it. It is likely that it was derived from a similar, pre-existing term also about a religion, namely Cristfag (someone gay for Jesus Christ, and in extension, Christianity)

Person A: Tom Cruise is pretty into Scientology.
Person B: Yeah, I know. He's a total scifag.

scifag

Reference to Scientologists. Especially those who are the types to write into papers or comment on web sites spewing their cultish propaganda.

scifag: "Anonymous" has publicly proclaimed its guiding materials to be the Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf. Quite obviously, this group is not just anti-Scientology, it is anti-freedom of religion, anti-free speech and anti-American.

scifag

Sci-Fag relates to all members of Scientology being disliked. The original root word "Fag" comes from the word faggot, which means bundle of sticks. The bundle of sticks is refering to the sticks that people would collect before they were burnt at the stick, so the word fag or faggot is a violent and obscene way of saying I want you to be burned at the stick.

"So i heard you like mudkips?" - He didnt say anything he must be a scifag.

"Zomg look at that scifag trying to take photos of us"
