Armchair Expert 

Someone who claims to know all the answers to a problem, situation or scenario but has little or no experience or real understanding of it.

Armchair Columbo

A person who thinks they can work out the motives, actions and guilt of people involved in high profile media criminal cases, based only on media revelations and their limited imagination.

Derivation is from Lt Columbo (a fictional TV Homicide detective from the 70's and 80's) who always knew who the killer was, within 2 minutes of meeting them (although, because this was fiction, he was always right)

Armchair Columbo's exist in a simple world full of Black and white motives, stranger dangers and Paedophiles hiding behind every tree

They are more likely to be conversant with TV police dramas than real life, and will know a great deal about forensic science from such shows as CSI:NY and NCIS, without realizing that most of this is fiction
Tigerlily: On the news, it said the missing boy was fully dressed and walked out the front door. How could a 3 year old dress himself and open the front door? I reckon the parents must know a lot more than they are letting on
Vinnie: Oh Tigerlily, you're such an Armchair Columbo

armchair psychopath 

A person who fantasizes about damaging others and satisfying only himself from the comfort of his own living room.
He may be an armchair psychopath because all he ever watches are those gritty, violence-laden crime shows on television.

Armchair General 

That one dipshit on reddit that always comments on military related threads acting like they know what they are talking about because they watched Top Gun, played Call Of Duty 4 and War Thunder. Usually bashing the F-35.
I've played war thunder and once read an article on Aviation.com about the F-35, and trust me and my advanced experience, the F-35 is the worse plane ever made and can be shot down by a biplane.

Shut the fuck up, you're an Armchair General, you stupid neckbeard.

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
