Someone who holds a substantial amount of power (socially) on the digital gaming vendor platform known as steam. This power exists in forms such as influence, reputation and one who is owner of a large group on steam. This power only exists socially and does not include the form of power Valve staff members hold. A Steam Lord is renown for their influence and the social power they posses over people. Usually a Steam Lord will coerce, or persuade his or her flock of followers/friends to perform certain task or instruct them to something.
Jack: I was in contact with a Steam Lord earlier.
Jenny: Yeah I heard you shouldn't mess with them, you'd regret it.

Get the Steam Lord mug.From STEM, an abbreviation short for "Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics", a STEMlord is a pejorative term for a particular kind of person who has studied in these areas at university or works in these fields who holds a pretentious, condescending attitude to anyone who has studied in any other fields, particularly the Arts and Humanities. They typically believe themselves to be more "intelligent" and "rational", while generally remaining incredibly ignorant outside of their areas of expertise and having the charisma of a rotting pig's backside.

Get the STEMlord mug.An individual within the STEM program who is foolish into believing that having the knowledge and skillset of STEM puts them at a higher intellectual position compared to students from other university programs.
STEMlords might feel that they are more rational, but they aren't. In fact, a 2019 study done by a group of psychologists found that STEMlords are no more rational or shrewd than those in Arts and Humanities programs (e.g. Cultural studies). Bottom line, their sense of superiority is a placebo effect founded on the misguided belief/stereotype that STEM is the holy grail of education.
STEMlords can be found all over the internet, but most exclusively within the Reddit platform. They often appear as sarcastic and cynical, and have a taste for dark edgy meme humour. Most, if not all, have a custom-built PC setup, play OW or DOTA 2, and watch a bazillion of anime shows.
STEMlords should not be generalized to all STEM students.
